A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
And they expect you to do this for free?
Do they not have to pay for the privilege? Or is this not referring to academic publishing? (It’s not super clear, but context indicates academic?)
If it is that makes it even worse. Academic publishers need to be abolished.
Nah, they get “Exposure”!

Anyone who reviews for the major publishers is part of the problem.
For profit corporations don't deserve your volunteer work.
And yet if you aren't a reviewer it makes your CV look worse.
Agreed that you should have some kind of "service" on your CV, but reviewing is pretty low impact. And if you want to review, you can choose something other than the predatory publishers.
Such as? They're all predatory just to varying degrees.
