Angela Collier on YT has some good videos about these. I think those videos talks about conspiracy and science crackpots.
Would that I had more than one upvote for Angela Collier. Her last video actually addresses the Sabine Hossenfelder issue directly. https://youtu.be/miJbW3i9qQc
Okay, i looked into those and i know the type. If i wanted to name a person that embodies this i'd go to people like Graham Hancock.
How dies it apply to Hossenfelder?

Edit: She's a right wing grifter who has been out of science for a while and is clearly very annoyed about it, because she came up with bad ideas and doesn't really know anything about most of the things she talks about.
Adding to what the others have said: I think Hossenfelder is also an example of chasing YouTube popularity. And apparently many people are really into this anti-science, right-wing stuff. It probably also aligns somehow with her own values, but I'm pretty confident that this is beneficial to her streaming business.
