"Pay to publish" is something you don't see a lot of, outside of predatory journals. "Pay to read" does absolutely nothing to address this problem -- that money goes straight to the publisher and neither the reviewers nor the editor ever sees a dime. To reiterate, reviewers and editors are not paid in any way for their efforts.

Pay to publish is not that uncommon e.g.

Sometimes this is under the guise of "open access" or other charges... there is often a waver if the author can not afford the fee (which you have to apply for).
