But T & F had to squeeze out that extra (paltry) $10M giving away all that unpaid work to Microsoft for AI.

Academic publishing houses' profit (2023): 

Elsevier $2.3 billion
Taylor & Francis $1.1 billion 
Springer $572 million

The amount they pay article authors and reviewers (2023):

If you ever want an article I wrote, email me at christopher.martell@umb.edu and it's yours free.
