It’s a numbers game.

X submits paper to Journal 1, and peers A,B,C reject it.
X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 2, and only peers D and E reject it.
X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 3, and only peer G rejects it
X submits paper with minor changes to Journal 4, and no one rejects it.

Science.

  I believe in the scientific method. I believe in peer review. I just don’t like that scientific journals have become so commodified that a lesser journal would accept volumes of bad science and bad review in order to boost its rankings whilst boosting the prestige of the scientists who is measured on the quantity of their work and not the quality.
  
  Entire paper mills exist purely for this reason, and it’s a scourge on the scientific community.

NOT science. At all. That’s publication and clout. Two things science distinctly is NOT, but needs because information must still disseminate in some way.
