    Some don’t realize the dangers. Some don’t care. Some actively exploit their children for views and money.

      The whole thing seems dangerous and I think we brush it off. Like, I’d honestly let my kid walk to the park by themselves before letting them give their likeness to youtube.

    A cousin uploaded a video to YT of her 4yo daughter playing with her friends in one of those inflatable pools. Just for family and the like. It was getting 500 views a day before she took it down. Creepy!

        Cool. Still the Internet. Do you trust every single person on your friends list and all of Facebooks employees to not get their password stolen?

        Lol.

        Lmao even.

          Ok. I mean I’m not on Facebook but does your argument about how youtube and facebook are relative have a point? Can you acknowledge that there is some distinction between the two?

    They don’t know their children are streaming because they don’t care about their children. They only care about drugs and watching TV. The children are streaming for money to buy things to break from the monotonous life of being told to go away and watching content farm slop. Some are trying to buy soap so they aren’t the stinky kid anymore, as the parents can buy soap but they need to save for a $100 bag with a $5000 name on it.

    Also the viewers are the closest thing the children have to family and friends.
