I’ve never gotten a stipend or heard of someone getting a stipend for publishing or reviewing manuscripts. The only thing I’ve been offered is access to the journal.

Reviewers and writers actually do get a stipend, but it’s a token amount like 200 bucks a year. This industry is the most ass backward incentive structure we could possibly create, the only reason writers would provide articles to a journal is literally for the clout.

Depends on the journal I guess, my wife worked at multiple publishers and there’s normally a insultingly small stipend for the editorial board members and writers

That’s not an incentive, they’re mocking you with money

They all got bought up by venture capitalists like a decade or more more ago, and this is the result.

Clout and also many academic focused universities expect some set minimum of publications from their staff

Publishing and winning grants are the lifeblood of most academic careers
To fund your research, you have to win grants - and to win grants, you have to have a proven history of publishing research and winning grants! Bonus points if you provide unpaid labor for granting and publishing agencies by reviewing applications and submissions.

I love a self perpetuating system of coerced labor!

I’ve heard of some journals promising to pay their reviewers Amazon gift cards which they never end up sending out

Really? I’ve reviewed and published a good chunk of papers and never received any financial compensation.
