alt Hacker NewsThat makes more sense, but we seem to have a different notion of the term "hipster". Anyway, from what I can see in the YT channel, it's not for me, but at least on first glance I can't see anything that would justify bashing these people. Where does this intense dislike come from? Are they peddling some grift or are deep into some conspiracy theory? I don't see it.

I hope no one is against people living and working this way.
But they're begging for money, after over a decade of complete mismanagement - and not just in a financial sense.
Yeah it's much more "hippie" than "hipster" which is what I guess the parent commenter meant.
I've personally followed their Project Kamp YouTube channel since it started (4 years ago), and I do think they deserve criticism.
If you go look at the comments of the vast majority of videos you can see commenters that are experts in their field giving advice about something done in the video that absolutely needs fixing (from basic PPE to building structure issues), only to be completely ignored by the team.
I do think there is some pathological incompetence here. At some point with the exposure they have and the advice and supoort (including financial) that they receive, there's little left to do other than call them out.
