Hot take: Publishers do fuck all. Everyone can have their own book printed, and most of the repsonsibility for advertising goes towards the author anyway. So what does the publisher do then?

    What do publishers do? Editing, layout, other parts of design (e.g. covers), most importantly printing, marketing and distribution.

    Oh you mean what do scientific publishers do? Um... that's a good one, huh... they just kinda take the money and leave everyone else to do the actual work?
