Perhaps with the excitement of 3d printing, the clarity of global food waste, the brazen exploitation of working people, and the recent massive crises of capitalism, people are more receptive to the idea.

But it's not a new idea, nor even a new way of speaking about the idea. A post-work society is one of the primary goals of radical leftists. If you're seeing more frequent discussion on the subject, especially on Hubski, I suspect it's mostly due to the filter bubble that Hubski is so good at cultivating.
