"Flipping" journals is an option, but doesn't happen often because it's risk for the editors with little personal benefit. The answer the project I volunteer for [1] is that the prestige of a journal comes from the researchers who submit or review for it, so we can also employ their reputations without the middleman - by having them endorse works, thus having their names instead of the journal names attached to the works.
