And to be fair - the 'peer review' process is fucked anyway. In a day and age where everyone's opinion is plastered where the whole world can see, there isn't much use in the opinions of a few more. I don't see these journals as providing any kind of useful place to showcase new ideas or discoveries.

The peer review process is getting fucked, but that's not the reason why. "Peer review" is supposed to be done by people who are acknowledged experts in their field, who are supposed to be pseudonymous. Problems emerge when the acknowledged experts are biased, bought off, or not actually experts. All three are becoming more common.

I agree 100%. If the reviewer has no sweet fucking clue what they are reading, how on earth does their endorsement mean anything?
