I think the parent refers to Project Kamp, their "sustainable" community in Portugal (they have a YouTube channel), for which "hipster commune" is actually a very kind description.

Why was there no mention of this in the (already-completely untransparent) article? They apparently own a huge piece of land in Portugal - why all the whining about having no space or money? Plant some vegetables on your 10 hectares and sell them,at the very least.
This is totally unnecessary, it would be absolutely dwarfed by the revenue they get from their Patreon (around $13K a month) and their YouTube revenue with 750K subscriptions bringin in probably multiple tens of thousands a month too.
They're absolutely not strapped for cash.
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.
But they're begging for money, after over a decade of complete mismanagement - and not just in a financial sense.
