Alright but look at how much they pay the authors. What other business pays ZERO dollars for their core product?

None, but science isn’t a business. Treating it so creates perverse incentives where an articles is reviewed by merit of its financial gain and not its content. Some people already do this by prestige alone, but adding money to the mix won’t improve this imo

So it’s acceptable for Elselvier et al to milk academics blind? At the minimum, authors should not be charged.
