They do no work, take all the profit, and obstruct research and the spread of knowledge. Those are some of the worst scums of capitalism.
People like naking comparison to natural selection, hierarchies and food chains.
However they mistakenly believe that Lion is at the top of the food chain. Then they start discussing irrelevant issues, like if lion is being too mean to the herbivores.
Their understanding is fundamentally wrong - the lion is not at the top. The parasites that live in the lion are at the top.
The punlishers are parasites. They are at the top.
How does nature remove parasites, say tapeworms? It doesn't, only extenral intervention like surgery can remove them.

To make them disappear you may remove their habitat and food : the lions. Or as the author propose : the publishers.
Presumably there is an evolutionary arms race going on between host and parasite.
