Do I miss something with Pentest Magazine?

I just receive an email about they will increase prices again because a workshop, etc, etc.
Am I missing something with them? Are that magazine really good for the prices?
I never had a subscription with them, so please who ever have one please give me your feedback.
Thanks.

I wouldn't do it again...but it was a nice bump to my resume when I was getting out of the military (...a nice bump for those that were not familiar with their reputation. The actual employer I went to work with called it out though). They don't pay their authors anything, and they only get content by harassing people to write for them. There is no editorial or technical review, whatsoever.
See the DICKS fiasco --> Experts ***** 'biggest security mag in the world' with DICKish submission
As far as content, it is very hit and miss. There are some good articles...but a lot of crap gets through too. I think Hakin9 is almost worth writing for...just cause you get a free year's subscription. And its usually worth looking through (if you are willing to push through the junk). PenTest and eForensics only give you a copy of the issue you get published in...so IMO, not really worth it.
I WOULD NOT pay for any of these.

I'm the new managing editor at PenTest Magazine, I've been doing some general research on opinions about it and I found this topic.
I find it necessary to give you guys some update on how it looks like since I'm in charge here.
We do have a very thorough review and proofreading process. Every submitted article is carefully checked, edited and improved with the consent of the author (if necessary).
Our promotional ads policy is well-balanced, as we send up to 2 messages per week, never more than that. If someone is inconvenient with it, he or she can unsubscribe from our mailing list anytime.
There is absolutely no harassment of potential contributors. We choose the main topic each month, research the potential contributors according to this particular topic, and talk only to the people who are interested. The process is undoubtedly civilized and both sides are okay with how it proceeds. I also hate spam, I know how irritating it can be - we definitely do not do that!
The fact that we do not offer payment for the articles is true. Yet, every contributor is naturally given a free copy of the issue that he/she published in (worth $29). If someone contributes regularly, we give a 20% discount on our products or free year-long magazine subscription. Every contributor is happy with the co-operation. We are not forcing anyone to write. I think it is not about shining and fame, it is more about being passionate and willing to share your knowledge with the others, that's how I and our contributors look at it.
I hope it clarifies the image. If you have any more questions regarding PenTest Magazine, I am happy to answer.
Cheers!
Now I get several emails every week from them. Either asking if I want to write an article, or to get me to sign up for some course.
As I mentioned before, now we send 2 messages a week - one newsletter and one to the users registered on our website. Once a month I send "call for papers" to these users. And there is nothing more than that from PenTest Magazine regarding mailings. You can unsubscribe from both lists whenever you want, we definitely do not intend to spam you.
It's voluntary and individual choice in every business.
