Yep. Universities are in on it too. You can't work in academia without constantly publishing. These publishers don't pay you for your work. But publishing improves your "reputation" and "scholarly activity" which the university requires in order to boost its own "reputation". It's a big scam.

Jimmy Dore. Started watching in 2015. He was consistently about progressivism and brought awareness to causes such as Medicare for All. As the channel grew, he slowly became more deranged. COVID came and he found a larger audience spouting anti-vax dog whistles. The channel is now tabloid anti-vax, pro-putin, hot garbage.
