Did a journal retract your paper on homeopathy? Meet the journal that will publish your complaint:
A homeopathy journal that Elsevier dropped in the wake of concerns about excessive self-citation appears to have carved out a new niche for itself: self-pity.
In 2016, Homeopathy lost its slot on Thomson Reuters's (now Clarivate's) influential journal rankings list after an analysis found that more than 70% of citations in the papers it published were of papers it published. That led Elsevier to cut the journal loose — although it remains in business under the umbrella of Thieme, and has since earned its impact factor back. (For more on why that's important to journals, see this story.)
Part of Homeopathy's mission under new ownership, it seems, is to criticize journals that have spurned its contributors. Well, one journal, anyway.

Elsevier dropped a journal? How does this fit with their mission statement of maximising revenue above all else? If they actually drop a journal, no matter how much quackery it contains, they make less money. I don't get it.

Making money makes no sense when you get to the level of those who print the money.
