That's a gross misrepresentation of what editors, publishing companies, etc. actually contribute to the work. Editors do a lot of work and it's ridiculous to insinuate they're "parasites" (that seemed to be where you were going with this). To assume that you'd have essentially the same product without editors or publishing companies or anyone else who contributes to the final product is just ignorant.
