It’s unpopular to acknowledge tiki culture is highly materialistic and revolves around buying and selling. You can’t participate in the tiki lifestyle without spending money. Usually large amounts of money. It’s a fun hobby and a very pricey consumerist hobby. Once called out on the practice of grossly marking up products and services the producers / vendors/promoters claim that skeptics are cheap and not ‘ohana’, in other words won’t write a blank check.
