Very often people doing this kind of thing neglect to mention a significant safety net (e.g. parental wealth) that radically changes the kind of things you can do even when you never touch it.
It’s fair to question the funding sources of lodgings in a pragmatic way, and doubly so when one lives on a boat.
In the case of 100R, they seem to have had a lot of help from Patreon folks (per Wikipedia), though I don’t know if this was their sole source of income or funding for their lifestyle. It’s interesting that folks can live like this and share it with the world, and I don’t think that these particular folks have any ulterior motives, and I have not heard anything bad about them. They seem like they’re fairly aboveboard (pun intended).
If you go read their logs you'll find that they come across as people that aren't aware of such a "significant safety net" if there is one so even if it exists it is unlikely to have had a relevant influence on their work.
They've been excruciatingly open about their experiences and what they've learned along the way, including pecuniary matters.

On the contrary, they read exactly like people in that situation to me. How many people like that do you have experience with?
