Yeah... And wait until they start spamming you you to review papers for them, or to participate in their Special Issues, or to be a Guest Editor.... Such a shitty publisher, if you ask me.

You are (somewhat) right... Publish or Perish is unfortunately true. Still, if I can avoid them in the future, I will. They look borderline predatory to me.
