If you want to help people in #academia who are maybe less fortunate than you, who have less famous supervisors, or work at less prestigious universities, here's one simple thing you can do:
Do proper literature research.
That means complete forward and backward snowballing from a decent seed set. Find everything that is relevant to your paper and cite it. Budget a couple of full days just to get the reading list in place.
The reason this is important is that it's very possible to do great, important work and to simply get ignored by every single paper that should cite you.
The way to stop this is to be part of the citation graph. But that doesn't happen if people are lazy with their literature research.
This is even more true in the age of AI.
Semi-agentic models like O3 can be incredibly helpful with literature research, but they have their biases. They will most likely favor famous research. Put in the effort to find the hidden gems, and wire them into the citation graph, especially if you're in a privileged position.
