Correct. There are many small press and even pay to publish 'traditional' publishers.
Which is part of my position in saying that the traditionally published are not necessarily any 'better' than self-published or independently published.
You have to know which trusted sources to use for reviews, recommendations, etc. regardless of publishing source.
The thing about today's technology is that it can take the process down to the individual author level and the convenience is definitely allowing for more books out there whether traditional or non-traditional published.
