I actually think it’s fine BUT ONLY for open access or free access journals. If you already have enough wage to live, it’s good to do work for free that directly contributes to the public good. But NOT if the output is captured by a toll-extorter that makes a buck primarily just by keeping it from being freely available to the overall public. I’ve decided right now to never do free review for a journal that isn’t also free.
