> they gradually stopped providing that added quality.
I had a paper accepted in a well regarded mathematics journal, and the copyeditor proceeded to thoroughly mangle it. I had to explain that the meaning of a fraction changes when you move stuff between the top and the bottom.
This journal charges $3,250 per year for a subscription. Although they are in fact a nonprofit, attached to a university.
I really fail to understand the economics of this industry.

Sounds like it's time to communicate that to the entire editorial staff, request a refund, and never submit anything to them ever again. Nonprofit or not... If a university can't retain staff with even basic competence, they don't deserve to continue in their current state.
