A lot of this type of content being produced and/or promoted by an internet company based in Boulder, and I can assure you they are all in on the con. Some of them want to focus more on yoga and health food, but the audience numbers have pushed the whole operation towards aliens, crystals, and anti-scientific thinking. I've come to see it as a purposeful attack on humanity's rational faculty.

Gaiam?
IIRC the media arm is a separate company now, but that's an excellent example.

Cosmic charlatans in Boulder aren't all that out of the ordinary. There's a lot of well-off yet surprisingly naive people to pray upon.
