the absurd part is that researchers and peer-reviewers often don't even get paid for their work.
the privately owned journal sacks all the profit.

in my opinion, the universities and public libraries should take it on them to publish their own journal. this makes sense since it is already part of the university's job to distribute knowledge (by educating students). and a journal is just that: a way to distribute knowledge.

Researchers often pay to have their work considered for publication.
