Honestly?
Does every article have to be a serious article about poker strategy?
If you look at the mainstream poker (paper) magazines they are full of articles about a wide assortment of things, such as trip reports and whatnot.
Even the strategy articles in the 2+2 mag are predominantly covering unpopular games.
I think the whole direction of the magazine should be reconsidered.
Hmmm I think the magazine would be more popular if there were an NVG element to it. But I don't know if the goal of the magazine is necessarily to be popular. I know 2+2 has it's standards on things, and if that's the case, I think the magazine is very good as it is.
In practice, I wonder why I don't read it more. I guess I get my fill of strat from the strat forums. The articles definitely have their place in that they have the math that would be overkill for an everyday strat post, and it would suck if there weren't a place for those who want to do rigorous math. And there always seem to be a couple of articles with good insight on a game I play. So I definitely think the magazine is a good thing to have that rounds out this website, regardless. It is something more than its individual views. For instance, this wonderful post is oddly out of place in a strat forum, it got 12 replies in 18 hours and none for the next day and half now. It's what we say we want, but once we get it we don't want to read through it.

I also wonder if, on a subconscious level, I'd read it more if there were more pictures and graphics? Presentation seems to be blah.
