I no longer engage with Nature publishing group

The journals pay reviewers $0, and they pay authors $0, but they charge huge sums for access to the information they gatekeep. They also squat on the copyrights to the works they publish. And if an author wants to publish "open access," they'll charge that author anywhere from $1k to $10k for the privilege.

For all that, they do very little. Arxiv's overall level of quality is actually higher than the average paper in one of Nature's many journals.

The social justice thing is extremely obnoxious, but the business model is what really gets on my nerves...
