Pre-prints in social science: does anyone have any experience with how journals feel about this? Your own thoughts?

I've got a complete paper that is hot right now, basically today, and it maybe can't wait for journal publication. One issue I can see is that it kills double blind peer review, but everyone on earth would know it is me writing this so that's gone anyway.

@Drdonnayates @academicchatter PS the Am Soc Assoc explicitly says that preprints are not prior publication in its journals, and most journals do not consider it prior publication. US law requiring publicly accessible publication of federally funded research is also fueling preprints, and the value of preprints has become recognized with COVID research.
