Author compensation depends on the author and their ability to strike a good deal for themselves, just like the rest of us when we apply for jobs, they do it per piece of work.
As for journals, I understand the distaste academics have for these. This thread was about whether all published information should be free, not just journals.
As far as I'm aware, authors get very little of the compensation for the work they're doing.

Not if the established procedure for publishing is a journal.
