We have to realize that no product is built for everyone. Hey, Android fans dislike the iPhone, but there's nothing Apple can do about it. The reason that you dislike the pricing model is because there is not already enough trust being built between you and the author for you to believe the values Nathan can provide. Yes you are intrigued by the headline and promise at the top of the landing page. But you are also internalizing to find reasons not to buy because you don't trust the author yet. Like Apple, there is nothing Nathan can do about it. Maybe he shouldn't release anything until he gets trust from everyone on the planet?

There is nothing wrong not to buy the product. If I just knew Nathan for the first time with Authority, I probably won't buy it either. But I've followed him for some time and trust he can deliver, so I bought the complete package without much hesitation.

So, the book appeals to people who think like this?
