The problem I see is that many of the most prominent media libertarians are far from the "hippie libertarians" that still have the "anarcho" in their anarcho-capitalist philosophy. Exhibit A I would point to is Lew Rockwell's blogging group, a prominent self-proclaimed "libertarian" and "anarcho-capitalist". Sure, they have a strong disdain for "The System" (items like "Wall Street", "the elite", police corruption, spy agencies) combined with the standard right-wing (they love "market forces", a bit ironic given the Wall Street hate; they hate any social redistribution, hate environmental regulations, etc.). Unfortunately, I think their true colors have shown recently, in that they have shown quite a bit of love for strong "macho" leaders like Putin and Trump. In reality, I believe that this group is fascist-capitalist: they are right-wingers that don't like the messiness of democracy and laws and rules that much (unless said laws and rules benefit them, of course). No true philosophical libertarian would support strongmen leaders, for fairly obvious reasons. But just like the word "liberal" has been perverted in America (it's not classic liberalism any more!), "libertarian" has been perverted into this capitalist-at-all-cost strongmen personality in the public mind, because unfortunately too many of the loudest "libertarians" are. As far as SV goes, you are right that (from a distance) it appears less libertarian than 15 years ago. It seems interesting that one of the biggest pushes for "basic income" comes from this crowd for instance. But I can also see why the shift happened.
