I read them all the time for work.

They are probably the biggest scam in existence, but they know how to play the cut throat publish-or-perish academics off one another to continue... well, not being relevant, but profiting both coming and going. They charge you per page to publish, and they charge people to download articles.

If it were up to me, everything we publish would just be in arXiv or the like. Screw those rent-seeking jerks.
