I wish there was a way to invest in companies like these. Instead we have to wait for Bezos to pretend to care.

This is how smaller communities die. They get infested with state actors and the paradigm shifts on some of the stupidest, dipshit topics.

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

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.
