Mostly I have a problem with it being paywalled, I paid for it to be peer reviewed why they get to make money off it. Also peer reviewers are not compensated either

The reviewers are not compensated, but the editorial staff that maintain the journal are (part of which is recruiting and maintaining a reviewing board, soliciting comments, sending articles for review/rewrite, etc), as well as the staff that organize and put together the conferences that each journal hosts, and all other aspects of maintaining a journal such as partnerships with libraries and schools, memberships lists, etc. Did you think the fee only covered the Internet hosting?

Woah, no one I know has ever paid a publishing fee. Where are you publishing? Anywhere that asks for money is a scam journal. Also, a PhD is fully funded by nature, so all fees for anything should come from your program.

Most well regarded journals in STEM require a publishing fee. That is not the case for the humanities and I believe social sciences, which are always free.

In the off chance that I get to writing a paper, I’m just going to publish it in one of the free ones and add a license to it that prevents the money grabbing ones from using it.
If noone looks at it, it’s their loss.

Problem is that would tank the citations or H score and then it would just exist for the sake of existing.

Oh I didn’t know, thanks. For some reason I assumed they were waived

I wish to immigrate and for that I need to stand out from the other applicants I assumed the easiest way would be through publications.
It was IEEE that’s one of the flagship organization in STEM

If your field is computer science or eng, publishing in one of the A ranking conferences for your field is as good as top journal publishing
