I don't like when people change just because more people are watching them. People start to idolize them without remembering that they are just people...and then get treated like just a follower.

You are far from alone in your assessment.
It reaches far beyond the homesteading community though, even if that one is the most 'in your face' about it because these are the folks supposed to be helping other folks learn how to be more self-sufficient.
I guess what they really teach could be called: How to be selfishly-sufficient.
The thing is that those folks always have been and always will be the minority regardless of how much noise they make.
For every one of them there are a multitude of others (like yourself) that behave both honorably, truthfully, genuinely and authentically so in the not-so-grand scheme of things you are light years ahead and doing well at staying the course and keeping your hand firmly upon the tiller.
By the way: Nice rant!
Cheers!
Thank you! It really does seem like I hit a nerve with many people that are already feeling this way. It just seems so weird how people will naturally let other people sort into some sort of social hierarchy. Yuck.

It really comes down to being authentic. We're all flawed in some way. 10 subscribers or 10 000, you are who you are. If people let that go to their heads, that says a lot about their character to begin with. Authenticity is one of the most important things to maintain about ourselves. Idolatry is dangerous and it works both ways.
Thats for sure!
