Potok says sovereign citizen groups have attracted support because of poor economic conditions. Some groups travel the country pitching their ideology as a way to help homeowners escape foreclosure or get out of debt, by simply ignoring the courts and bankruptcy law.
The SPLC would not be my first choice for getting rational information on any subject, but Potok has a point here. The situation is similar to how terrorists at least used to recruit people in the Middle East. There are many more young men than jobs there. I don't know the recruiting situation now, but recruiters used to approach young men at mosques and tell them that they needed help with praying correctly. Then they'd connect the terrorist cause with a perverted version of Western actions.
