Is a journal that has an IF<1, charges 100 Euros an article, reviews and publishes within a week, and prints 80-100 totally unrelated articles a month predatory or very predatory?

Yes, of course it’s predatory. But first part of the tweet has nothing to with it and is just spreading myths about what makes a good journal.

I think it varies on the specialty. From the medical point this would absolutely describe a predatory journal, but you’d be lucky to find one with a OA cost of <€1000

Yeah sorry if I’m sounding harsh. I don’t care that much about the IF part (but running a journal and putting in hard work to get the APC down to zero and knowing people thinks (It’s very common) signaling predatory… it’s frustrating.
