Why do we need journals? Maybe they made sense at one time when it was good to have a (paper) copy in every library.

Now, they are arbitrary cliques creating disciplinary silos. Peer review could be handled with cryptography, including links to revisions, retractions, and updates.

I really wonder what Aeon's ax to grind is with science, rationalism, etc..

It obviously has an ideological slant, but I can't really guess what it would be.

Can't it just be that saying "science is broken" is sensational and gets page views?
