There are "teaching schools", where teaching is your full-time job. Even these schools now require some publications, which is where the predatory journals come in. Schools where research is supposed to be part of your job will have a list of journals that count, and they may have a point system. Better schools have shorter lists. This is enforced at the dean level, since deans don't have the expertise to evaluate individual papers. Here predatory journals won't help you.
