The endorsement part has the same dead-end here as with arXive and other journals. I have 4 scrolls that all work together, yet I am stuck at 1 upload, because of the endorsement requirement. As a plumber (of sorts) who studied the manuscripts that John Crapper gifted earth upon his visit, I find JAIGP a phenomenal opportunity for us plumbers (of sorts), but the endorsements are as much a hindrance here as they are on the journals that brought us here in the first place.
Alos, Sir Hidalgo, browsing upon your comment below, may I also suggest that plumbers (of sorts) can afford a submission fee per scroll, or a donation as a courtesy. Great interest in JAIPG can also be derived by increasing the public participation of everyone on social platforms like X and Bookface, it is not as if current journals on those platforms do not have an audience, and even on the most miserable of ideas ever conjectured by Accademia itself. Stick to high quality content and JAIGP will drive itself like a fission reactor. I have a viable scroll for that too that begs for public participation (https://zenodo.org/records/19080087), but I can not submit here, because of a lack of endorsements.
In fact, if you place just that scroll upon social media and make it a public participation project with milestones and thorough reviews you will find a great audience since the need to participate in great ideas is embedded in human nature itself. Learn from Edward Bernays, abuse this nature to its fullest extent.

I understand your frustration, but I think we need to walk the thin line between a place where anything can be posted, and a place where people are willing to stand behind their work and see them through a pipeline that puts them up to scrutiny. How about this. If you get the first of your drafts all the way past AI review, then you can submit a second one. I can make that change. For the endorsement, the idea is that you should be able to find someone that is willing to vouch that your work is eligible for review. Science is the creation of knowledge in a social context. So it is an important step. No matter where you publish (an oped at a good newspaper or an article at a journal, all will require being vetted by others).
