Should Impact Factor be the standard for judging how sound a journal is?

The impact factor of a journal is one of the major considerations  about the  scientific  quality , value of  unbiased independent  nature  and it's  direct or potential  impact or magnitude to advance scientific knowledge based on  soundness findings. 

In my opinion,  the impact factor (IF) should be used with caution when assesing the quality of a journal or the quality of an article, as it mostly reflects  the amount of citations the journal has rather than the quality of the article or the quality of the journal. In the case of journals that are open access (predatory journals are included), they obtain better IFs because the readers can download the articles easily and thus, they have more visualizations and more citations. Moreover, nowadays there are more open access journals than a few years ago. In my experience, prestigious journals that have not accepted the "open access only" policy are having reduced IF than others. Furthermore, the scientific comunity is helping the editorials make a lot of money.
