   Authority can mean some different things.   
      
   Landlords and renters enter into voluntary agreements. Collectivists   
   want to think of this as a coercive relationship but that's nonsense.   
   Landlords are not the state. And a voluntary agreement freely entered   
   into with a socially enforced mandate for performance is not authoritarian.   
      
   Even a completely voluntary society obviously can have persons they   
   respect as authority figures. Hierarchical structures are necessary for   
   human beings to function well, especially in groups. I've never met an   
   Ancap who wants to get rid of all authority as long as compliance to   
   that authority was not coerced by a state with the legal power to   
   initiate violence.   
      
   All of this is completely logical even if you don't like it or wouldn't   
   want to live there yourself.

   Like you said, human civilization is a long way from becoming a   
   high-trust voluntary society. Those sorts of people would fully support   
   relationships with payments and would not even want to sponge off of   
   creators for free.
