For middle-tier journals I agree. But people actually do check the latest issues of the top-tier journals. Journalists in particular check those almost exclusively. If your article is coming out in the newest Science, there are a lot of people who will see it when the table of contents comes out.

Okay, fair enough.

But not really in math. By the time anything appears in the Annals of Mathematics, which is the top journal, people will have already heard about it.
