You're assuming this is put together by incompetent schlubs or Internet assholes, then? Give people some credit when it's due. I've read a couple issues and found the presentation and curated nature of Hacker Monthly leads to me more fully reading and digesting the content of the articles. When reading them on HN I tend to skim or read them to pass the time. Reading a print edition or PDF on my iPad is such a different experience, the work put into it and the nominal cost, to me, seems justifiable.
