      There was this family channel that adopted a kid with autism from China and they already had a bunch of kids; not only would the parents do "family time" w their biological kids after sending the boy to bed, effectively shunning, him but also there were times in which the mom filmed him "throwing fits" when in reality it was basically him having sensory overloads bc of his autism and she would just dismiss it and leave him to cry out. It was a pretty big case about a year ago bc they ended up giving him up, or as they said in their own video "having to REHOME him". The absolute gall of this people. Sucks that they basically neglected the little boy and caused him more trauma but I guess I'm glad he's no longer being pimped out for views on youtube. Tom Harlock made a pretty lenghty video about the subject.

    maybe this is just my undergrad psych student disease talking, but every time i start thinking "who could possibly be watching and enjoying family vlog content" when i see a callout video about the ace family or whatever, i hear the parents go "thank you for subscribing, thank you for supporting us, we love you guys so much, our subscribers are all part of our family, every single one, ESPECIALLY if you support us by buying our new merch" and i picture kids out there with terrible home lives and absent parents who keep coming back to the ace family on some level because austin and catherine ace will always tell the kid they love them when their real parents won't. i'd be willing to bet that if you go into their comments section you'll see a bunch of 8 year olds commenting "you guys are so cute i wish you were my parents" which seems like a compliment on the surface but if you think about it for more than a few seconds it just gets really sad. the ace family or the royalty family or whoever don't actually care at all about their subscribers and it's not a healthy family dynamic to exploit your kids for money and views. they milk the sad parasocial relationship they have with their 10 yr old fanbase for money and clout. it probably seems harmless on the surface but young kids are so, so easily influenced by what behaviors are modeled for them, especially in people they perceive as parental/authority figures. idk i'm probably just an oversensitive snowflake but it really just makes me sad.

    I can definitely see these kids growing up with some serious anxiety issues and possibly disorders as they grow older. When you grow up with parents who don't allow you to process your emotions fully without them making a big scene, it seriously effects your sense of self overtime. Add in the cameras 24/7 and you will get self-esteem issues as soon as you begin understanding the context behind those seemingly innocent videos your family did of you. I'm seriously scared for how the next generation will turn out mentally once they grow older, having their entire lives broadcasted to the world all the way from birth to adulthood...

    This shit is so weird and dark. These kids grow up without a moment of authenticity or real emotion in their lives, zero real connection to their protective and nurturing figures in their lives. Also, these families have more and more children BECAUSE of their channels, because they know it'll boost the channel, so whether its conscious or subconscious they are getting pregnant and having babies just for the channel... not out of love. Its gross on every level and these children will grow up traumatised by this behaviour. Thats a psychological fact. A child is in the most critical period of development in their lives at these stages and looking into and speaking to a camera lens throughout the entirety of their childhood, in their own homes, and their own BEDROOMS, what is supposed to be their private, safe space, is NOT normal.

    I’m scared to see how some of these kids turn out when they grow up. This gives me exploited child actor vibes but this is more worrying because their home is the set.

      That Royalty Fam kid has such dead eyes.
      Reminds me of Drew Gooden's Mary-Kate and Ashley video and how both girls ended up regretting their childhoods because they were just kind of forced to only act and be famous instead of being actual kids

    makes me imagine the kids behind the camera have the perception that the camera is what makes their family perfect. like i refuse to believe nothing bad happens behind the scenes every once in a while. its like, probably going to create this weird dependency on the camera to be happy and loved

    I actually have seen certain RUclipsrs/celebs that have children and don’t want to put them on camera so young bc they are too young to consent to being in a video. I respect those people as they don’t use their kids for monetary gain these other “parents” shouldn’t even have kids

    Here's why it feels weird: the children are being exploited. As children they can't legally consent to having photos/videos posted of them online for anyone in the world to see. Most parents don't do that unless there's money in the equation.

      Honestly, it’s sick. I’ve seen so many parents doing vlogs obviously intentionally make thumbnails of their child in suggestive poses because they know it’ll get clicks. How can they call themselves parents when they’re exposing their children to online predators?

    That kid wasn’t a “natural” in front of the camera. He was brought up in front of the camera. The reason he’s so comfortable is because he’s been conditioned to be like that. I can’t imagine the type of trauma that will come from vlogging like this.

    There’s an episode of “mom swap” or something like that... and one family has a youtube channel and the other family is just a normal laidback family... at one point in the episode the kids from the youtube family tell the other mom that they DONT EVEN WANT TO RETURN to their mom/parents because they say EVERYTHING they do is filmed & takes the fun out of it all... that was really eye-opening for me, as someone who used to support family channels... these poor kids.

      Well good on you to realize and turn it around, bc yea these family channels shouldn’t ever be supported. Any child raised in the limelight of public attention, to the point of practice ally being exploited for money and attention, never goes well. Look at the Olsen twins, who basically from the age they were able to do talk were kind of forced into doing endless television and film programs “for kids”, and how they described their childhood experiences.

      What's she supposed to get him, a red thong? It's a perfectly normal gift for a guy to receive. Men actually get non-gendered non-holiday specific gifts. I mean I think it sucks but he obviously does wear fanny packs...
