If youre ok with mainstream magazines like national-geographic, playboy etc you should take a look on usenet-indexers. With an usenet downloader with rss support you could also subscribe to certain keywords and get the new issues right after release in a separate folder downloaded.

Thanks for the tip! I've always found Usenet to look too complicated with too high a cost for my rather limited use. But I keep seeing it recommended, so maybe I should give it a go at some point.
I haven't really looked into the availability magazines, but a block account (rather than a subscription) would probably last you ages, since I assume the size of each issue would be rather small. So that would be a small onetime payment.
As for indexer I guess it depends on what you need, but there are some with free tiers.
As for complicated I don't think Usenet is any more difficult than other methods. At least for movies/series it's a one time setup to automate everything and then it is extremely convenient.
Annas archive just announced a big release of magazines
MAM is a private torrent tracker with tons of ebooks. They definitely have a lot of magazines, but maybe not the most expansive collection around. They do interviews to join regularly.
Mobilism also has a huge case of magazines/newspapers updated on its site daily. Not every magazine is available, but most popular ones are.
Annas Archive, DC++ hubs, pdfmagazines.club (site is nsfw as playboy and similar will be on the front page guaranteed), and beyond that just via dumps on torrent trackers like 1337x.
