Saw a complaint about how PLOS had created predatory journals and made publication inaccessible through its article processing charge (APC) business model.
When PLOS ONE started, there was no guarantee the APC model would work. It works because scientists choose to publish there, fully well aware of the costs.
It’s not a journal’s fault that scientists use them. Scientists have options. If you don't like a business model, don’t submit there. Then, convince colleagues.
