The scientific journal industrial complex is one of the highest profit margins in the world. It's consistently at like 30-60% pure profit. Obviously not all journals are the same, some are reasonable, but some are insane. LOOKING AT YOU ELSEVIER

The labor is in the peer review and they pay nothing. Then they setup a system where peer reviewers get "credits" not one cares about.

Fucking wooden nickels.
