Interesting take. Just the other day I wrote about publications. While I used them in the past, been editor and own a couple myself, I think that overall the hassle outweighs the benefits. If anything I think publications should start reducing their content and become more exclusivist, so that it becomes about the readers and not about the writers. https://attilavago.medium.com/youre-overestimating-the-value-of-publications-and-it-s-hurting-you-c53b77ba8130
