Not quite. Although the journal model is terrible, the publishers of scientific journals don't lead you to think thousands or millions of people will buy your paper and you will become rich and famous

True, within the boundaries of predatory brainwashing the big sci journal publishers make no outright false promises! Plus sites like pubmed ensure that publications can be found, read and cited even if not published in the most high impact power houses of expensive publishers.

Still, they charge a lot for pubs the writers aren't paid for Going from journalism to academia was a lil shocking that way
