European here, you nailed it. I stopped reading because of this, unfortunately. Americans, why does everything have to sound like a cheap TV commercial from the 90s ?
- papaf 7y agoIts a shame that you stopped reading -- it is an excellent article.
- luckylion 7y ago> it is an excellent article About self/online marketing, not so much about writing.
- sridca 7y agoNeither an European nor an American here (born in India actually), and I too stopped reading for the same reason.

I slowed down at the heading "Age of Leverage" but didn't start actually reading till the bullet points 1. A Start Here page 2. A curated list of your favorite articles At that point I thought the advice on bootstrapping a blog was quite worthwhile. I think the reading strategy of rejecting articles that start slow is not as good as skimming over what isn't interesting to get to what is.
