Considering the fact that the research they conduct costs tons, I don't find it surprising and not even overpriced. This isn't some amateur blogger we're talking about.Whitehat is for chumps

Hmm? The research they conduct?
The publisher doesn't pay for the research. Generally speaking, universities (that is, in most cases, governments) pay for the research.
Scientists nor their institutions usually get paid for the articles. Their "payment" is exposure. Often, even the reviewers don't get paid.
These days, many journals even charge authors for publication./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

It isn't cheap, if you consider who pays for it - you, the taxpayer.
It mostly works like this:
Editors - get paid by their universities.
Scientists - get paid by their universities.
Scientists - pay for getting published (their university will typically pay).
Reviewers - get paid by their universities.
Universities - pay for their subscriptions to journals.
Taxpayers - pay for universities.
Publishers - bathe in money.
Now, some journals have gone "open access" (meaning anyone can access them for free online), but at present, the publishers are fighting against that. In fact, they're trying to get it outlawed in the US
