Reviewers and writers actually do get a stipend, but it's a token amount like 200 bucks a year. This industry is the most ass backward incentive structure we could possibly create, the only reason writers would provide articles to a journal is literally for the clout.

    I've never gotten a stipend or heard of someone getting a stipend for publishing or reviewing manuscripts. The only thing I've been offered is access to the journal.

    They all got bought up by venture capitalists like a decade or more more ago, and this is the result.

    They were already backward, but now they are backward, ruthless about cost cutting, and care about nothing but profits.
