"Nothing in academia makes sense, except in the light of prestige"

Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees

A plot showing prestige (impact factor) on vertical axis and fees charged by journals on horizontal axis.

Is it reasonable to equate prestige and impact factor?
