Woah, no one I know has ever paid a publishing fee. Where are you publishing? Anywhere that asks for money is a scam journal. Also, a PhD is fully funded by nature, so all fees for anything should come from your program.

Most well regarded journals in STEM require a publishing fee. That is not the case for the humanities and I believe social sciences, which are always free.

Oh I didn’t know, thanks. For some reason I assumed they were waived

In the off chance that I get to writing a paper, I'm just going to publish it in one of the free ones and add a license to it that prevents the money grabbing ones from using it.
If noone looks at it, it's their loss.
