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.
having third-party publishers that are specifically not affiliated with any org that produces research was supposed to prevent biases in who and what gets published and provide a kind of standardized system for determining the quality of a paper / peer-review process /etc and allow for comparison across the whole scientific community. It has since been corrupted for profit takers. I am liking the idea of integrating into the public library system though…couldn’t be a university library though because again, biases.

Researchers often pay to have their work considered for publication.
