Have you heard of the Satorialist? Compared to Bill Cunningham he is a hack and a sell-out.
While Cunningham is the original, he is more than just that: he is a guy who lives in a very small apartment with filing cabinets full of his negatives, and who showers in the hallway.
Also, it becomes apparent throughout the film that this guy could care less about money, and personally, that makes me like the dude even more.
