That sounds very like using the reader’s sunk cost fallacy as a marketing move.
I did like Moldbug’s essay on the problem with academic computer science, and his rants on computer technology in general. I get more of a sense he knows what he’s talking about, rather than pontificating as an interested amateur. (Even when I think he’s wrong, it seems a more informed wrong.) It could just be greater subject interest on my part, of course.
