Reddit and Wikipedia both get complaints for the abuse of power by power users or mods. They both work (well up to now for Reddit) because there's an absolute admin group bound through a corporate governance structure to step in when needed. Without that you get shit.

There's a reason for the saying "science moves forward one funeral at a time." Those with power block those who do not have power from competing with them until they literally die of old age.

Publishing and conference entities will not publicize your finding unless you go through it and historically without the internet that was the only real way to get publicity. In other words corporate power structures are forcing you to play the game or they will effectively block you from being able to do science professionally. So that seems a pretty poor example of non-corporate power structures.
