Zines are great ways for people to get into publishing their own stuff for the first time. You are right, very few people will want to read what you create, but a few will and this is of course an amazing thrill. Most zines are amateurish but that's the point: it's a great way for kids or young people to try their hands at creating stuff. And some if it is good. Haven't looked at this yet, but I think electric zine makers are a little backwards: the idea behind zines is you just need paper, ink, staples, a photocopier, and an imagination. If you are going to go all in with digital publishing pdfs, there are already lots of tools for this.
