This reminds me of Weight Watchers ($WTW). The idea is crazy - people will pay for advice and some instructions I guess. $WTW is a $5B company now.

Advice, instructions, and a social group centered around the advice & instructions! Bill Ackman lost a lot of money underestimating the value of the latter.

Aren't they paying for community / accountability?

Oftentimes the value the user gets is a bit tangental to the concrete product.
