Lantley put it best. Most of these folks are just one step up from the motorhomeless around here since their junk mail und long enough to get out of town and they’re not beached down in SoDo or other homeless encampments and hangouts.
Nothing has changed, except technology. Always has been and always will be those who live their entire lives on handouts and refuse to actually work for a living.
Covid and technology just gave a bunch of them a “great” idea on how to still be completely irresponsible and possibly make money by publicizing their sad lives. (Actually reality shows started it before the Rona wave)
Some, of course, are actually real real cool ski bum types who are doing it wholly because they want to. Although they’ve learned to be cyber mooches as well. They used to just do it in person. Partying with ski bums in CO was great fun back in the day but generally they weren’t just hanging out with some random kids from Chicago because they thought they were cool. Theft and mooching was present back then too.
In short, too many bleeding hearts whos heart strings get tugged at while watching tweakers or almost tweakers live the van life that actually support them and then give them a little hope that their money for nothing scheme actually will work indefinitely.
But they are a fad not a productive part of society.
