Those videos aren't made by real people telling you what it's really like to live that way; they're made by trustafarians and roleplayers trying to sell you an idea so you'll keep watching their videos so you'll keep seeing ads.

There are many, significant drawbacks to living in a homestead, tiny house, or off-grid cabin, to the point that it's something that isn't even possible, and most of the time not worth the trouble, for many people simply due to zoning laws. Any channel that doesn't address those realities is glamorizing a difficult lifestyle and not being honest about what it's really like to live that lifestyle.
