Ask yourself why you want a publisher, and what you expect to get in return for their 80% share of your income. The only ones open to submissions these days are small press outfits, so even if book shops still exist by the time it comes out you won't be getting into any of those.
Depending on what you write, some small press publishers are quite well respected by readers so there would be a certain prestige value in giving away one of your stories in order to drive sales to your creator-owned work.
Other than that, I don't see the point in putting yourself through all the heartache of rejection. Get it written, get it fixed, get it proof-read, get it on the internet. Even if it only attracts a very small audience that's still better than having it sat in the middle of a massive pile of mauscripts on someone's desk until they get around to reading the first paragraph and binning it.
