No. It's understaffing. Magazines used to have robust copy desks. Very few still do.

Here's a screenshot from my locally hosted emotive audiobook narration software backed by Qwen3.6 for checking grammar (and invoking a custom SymSpell implementation for spelling):

It took about two hours to code using Opus 5.5. Finding and fixing grammar mistakes is quick. Not sure why magazines aren't doing similar checks.

It's time for websites to have a "proofreader contribution" button. Enough people report it and it auto-updates.

Imagine all the ways this could be abused using bots or a sufficiently large group of people

Edit: Except maybe when limited to singe character edits, but those could still pose a partial attack vector for a subset of words.
