The publishing companies are just fronts. “Others” underwrite the book deals. It’s also how I think they claim to have made unit sales when the book is published, as the underwriters prepay for the units in order to fund the advance. I suspect that most of the print run is actually pulped.

No dude. It’s fucking chaotic at the best of times. Don’t mistake this anarcho-syndicalist free for all with anything remotely resembling an organized function. Sometimes it performs astonishingly well, in spite of itself; but mostly it’s like sticking one’s head in a beehive. Fucking antagonistic visitors don’t help.
