Neither an European nor an American here (born in India actually), and I too stopped reading for the same reason.

I hadn't even started reading at that point. By the third sentence I was skimming. 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.
