> What benefits are there for me in this?

Having your work more openly available,
faster feedback by a much broader audience,
having more means to communicate and visualize research.

While the effort to write an article remains the same.

The hard thing of doing research can't be writing the text, right?
It's not harder than writing LaTeX.

> As a reviewer?

The job of a reviewer doesn't change.

If combined with open reviews,
more visibility and reward become possible,
plus non-solicited reviewers can also come in.

> As a reader?

No paywalls.
A more flexible format to read on different devices,
with new interaction and discussion possibilities.

Best,
