Reddit has long had a subreddit that does essentially the same thing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Scholar/

A user posts the title of an article they're trying to get access to
on the subreddit and another user either posts a link to a copy of the
article on a third-party file sharing site, or they send it to them
via Reddit's messaging system, if they don't want the transaction to
be public. They might also delete the link on the subreddit after the
recipient has acknowledged receipt of the article. There is no reason
to believe that these are the authors sharing their work.

It's worth noting that the Scholar subreddit has over 26,000
subscribers sharing articles.
