Does Predatory Publishing Start With Publication Fees?

Scott, when you say "it should be the other way" – do you mean that authors should submit articles to one place and the journals fight between themselves to claim it?

I don't think I follow - don't publishers already seek out quality content by offering 'calls for papers?' Or do you think there's an even better way to seek out this quality content? Maybe something like journals keeping up with a scholar's output via their blogs, twitters, etc? and discovering emerging talent that way?
