Over on the bird site they're talking about how MDPI journals have been added to the list of "predatory" journals.

What do you think?

I have to say I no longer review for MDPI, partially because so little of what they send my way has anything to do with what I know about, partially because I do find them a bit "icky". But I have done some reviews, and the papers might not have been amazing, but they were all people submitting real work, they clearly believed in. Review suggestions were made, and papers were improved before being published.

agreed. I'm not the biggest fan, but I have read many legit papers there.

Some are predatory, some are iffy, some are mediocre, few are decent.
