  Paid academic journal editors are rare exceptions. From one of your own links: Carol Barnes, professor of psychology and neurology at the University of Arizona in Tucson, is a reviewing editor at the Journal of Neuroscience, a 3-year appointment for which *she receives no compensation*. (…) Barnes has received funding from the university to hire an assistant to provide clerical support to assist her with the manuscript review process. She considers herself fortunate, because "without this help, I would have had to decline this position." Not only she was still paid by the university for whats seems to be a full time job during 3 years according to the article, but in addition to that the university, not the publisher, paid for an assistant to this job!

      And I can assure you that the situation is similar with journals owned by Wiley, Springer, and Elsevier, for examples.
