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.

Really? I’ve reviewed and published a good chunk of papers and never received any financial compensation.

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.

Depends on the journal I guess, my wife worked at multiple publishers and there’s normally an insultingly small stipend for the editorial board members and writers

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.
