When I was a kid like 15years ago I went to school with a girl who’s mom ran a “mommy blog”. Privacy did not exist in that house, everything got posted. Her every tantrum, bad day, overtired whining or injury got posted for thousands of anonymous strangers and to make it worse kids at school found it and bullied her about it. A lot of kids weren’t allowed to be friends with her because they’d be talked about in the next entry. I fully believe mommy blogs and family CZcams channels that post every day are abusive because to keep up with that schedule you have to do away with privacy to generate enough content
Really it does I can't imagine what kids feel these days. I feel bad for them. I am lucky enough to have parents that didn't believe in post stuff online unless it's stuff like holidays or dinner parties.
Along with family vlog channels, I absolutely HATE channels with neurodivergent kids and adults getting babied just because of their disability. I saw a mom on tiktok film her son having a breakdown and posting it on the internet for "educational" purposes. It's not educational, it's humiliating and its sickening how normal it is for neurodivergent people to be taken advantage of in vulnerable moments where privacy is needed the most.
Even worst if the abuse on children does count. Daddyofive is an infamous example of what every parents shouldn't be. I'm glad the two kids (Cody and Emma) cut ties with the dad and step mom stay with their real mom who won the custody. Everyone on the web knows what's going. The reupload of the videos does exist but it displays the legacy as one of the worst CZcamsrs on the list.
Agree 100%. There's this one channel called Fathering Autism that's particularly bad with this. (or at least they used to be- I haven't heard anything about them in a while) The dad claims their channel is to help other parents with autistic kids, but believe it or not, there's a way to do that WITHOUT shoving a camera in your kid's face 24/7 and violating their privacy. It's pretty clear their daughter doesn't even want to be on camera most of the time anyway. Just because someone has a disability and is, in the case of this kid, nonverbal, doesn't mean they don't deserve the same rights to privacy as everyone else.
absolutely. "autism moms" are some of the worst people ive ever had the misfortune of encountering online. half of them write articles about hating their child and wishing they would be cured. they talk about how their kids make THEIR lives harder without considering the pressure theyre constantly putting on their kids. a lot of them straight up film their kids having breakdowns and post it publicly. imagine being that kid, growing up, and finding the videos/articles of your mom broadcasting your symptoms to the entire world and wishing you were "normal". what a nightmare
Another reason why the dislike counter should come back: To show that the general viewing public do not want to see these horrible clout chasers exploit their children.
This is the exact reason they removed it, to prevent people like Charlie sending (either on purpose or not) over to dislike bomb crap like this. this crap makes youtube a LOT of money, why would they want it removed? they can't be seen helping this content because then they can't claim they ignorance, but that can remove obstacles for 'other' reasons that just so happen to help content like this and the content farms that spew out fake and dangerous how to style videos.
The only “good” family vlog channel I’ve ever seen is this one woman on tiktok who started by just filming tiktoks of making her kids lunch, and her kids actually ASKED to be in the tiktoks, and whenever a kid is crying or doesn’t wanna be on camera she NEVER shows them on camera. And even just based on the way she packs their lunches and knows all their favorite foods and snacks is very very wholesome.
There’s a few good gems. Not all of it is bad or exposes things that shouldn’t be seen. I think some people forget that we don’t live with these people. Not everyone is out to do malicious shit. So anyway, thecampisis channel is funny, it’s mostly the husband and wife ball busting each other, with occasional appearances from the kids. The other one I love is Beleaf in Fatherhood. He actually has educational videos where he just really shows you what it’s like being a parent of his family. You get to see all the interaction with his kids, and he psychologically breaks down and analyzes things. It’s also impressive to see the levels of communication skills his family has, all the way down to the youngest baby who’s maybe like 2? it’s pretty interesting and the intention is clearly not to expose anything so it’s all good by me.
@@WTFisHappeningToMe I don't remember the name or anything but i watched a documentary about a japanese single father making a bento for his daughter throughout her high-school days and including a special note with every single lunch. It was very wholesome and like a transfer of wisdom and anecdotes in in notes. Very special.
There is also a different channel on tik tok that is just parents recording while there babies do silly things and one in them does have a disease but they almost never talk about it.
I've had many arguments with my mom as a teen whenever she was sharing things about me with my own blood related aunts. I would have gone totally mad if she had shared my personal life with the whole world. At that age you're still discovering and experimenting and you don't need to be micromanaged by everyone giving their two cents.
My mom told every single family member immediately when she learned I was gay by going through my personal things. She never questioned it. She still doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
My mom told the whole family from my neighbors (everyone was there for a birthday, we all knew them and were invited too) I had my first period and she didn't understand why I got really uncomfortable and left immediately
@@fart63 wtf, that's messed up. Sorry that happened. That's not up to her to share with others without consulting you first. I don't know where you live but it could even impact your safety
That's what I thought too until someone pointed out it's real. This means at least 2 adults who raise children and vote, made this thumbnail and video, and then decided it was a good idea to post it, then thousands more people clicked on this video thinking it was worth watching and keeping in the back of their mind that they might see a lewd 12 year old. I want out of this fucking timeline.
Yes, and for some reason, the video was out there for a considerably long time. Unsurprisingly, the comments were full of ZAMN memes too. I remember searching for it thinking that it must be down already, only for it to be the first result
Another reason the disliked numbers should come back: to show that the general public doesn't want to see these horribly influential hunters exploit their children.
Dislikes never did anything, I wish people would stop acting like it impacted anything ever posted on here just because it's gone now. I don't watch family vlogs, and don't give them views. Even if you did dislike, your view still counted and now your algorithm is fucked up until you manually tell it to stop show you related content........ 🙄🙄
@@psomichelle2758 dislikes are what informs most viewers about the legitimacy or validity of a video. Removing it was a terrible choice on CZcams's end. It being removed means that the only way you'd be able to tell if a video is good or not is to go to the comment section which can be heavily filtered by the creator so it doesn't really make sense. They removed it because of "harassment" and "dislike bombing" which would be valid reasons for giving the creator a choice of hiding the dislikes, not removing it from the platform as a whole.
@@cesj1 this absolutely isn't true; there have been multiple times where videos have been bombarded with dislikes and negative comments, even if what the person was saying wasn't bad/was true, or videos of blatant lies/misinformation being spread that faced very little criticism; a video having a good like to dislike ratio only means something in terms of legitimacy if the creator doesn't have a decently sized supportive audience.
There's actually people on Reddit and Tiktok who are 16-20 who talk about their experiences being the children in family vlogs and how traumatized they are form it
There's not a single doubt in my mind that Ryan from Ryan Toy Reviews is gonna go through a rebellious phase when he realizes that his parents are stealing from him
In about 10-20 years an absolute avalanche of documentaries and books are going to come out from the kids of these families detailing how their childhoods were stolen and how fucked the household dynamics were, mark my words.
That is a thing I spoke with a relative of mine about recently. There absolutely will be documentaries and discussions about this in the future when time moves on. And a lot of messed up stuff will come to light probably too. It's really disheartening to think about tbh.
UNACCEPTABLE! RIGGED RIGGED RIGGED, I CANT SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY UNDER BIDEN'S PRESIDENCY, I absolutely don't want to live in this nation where our GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP is getting ROBBED! This is absolutely the final straw, my KIDS ARE IN DANGER and I won't live in this nation another day! I'M MOVING TO ALASKA AND FINALLY LEAVING THE USA!!!
My (mentally ill) mother watches family channels on CZcams and she has no clue how they harm children. The one she watches FOSTERS and adopts, and currently has 21 children in their care. I cringe everytime she blasts it on her iPad. I was absolutely floored when I heard the parents asking all their kids for their ages, names, STATE, and not just their state...but TOWN that they all live in. Wtf? Not only are you showing your kid's face on camera, but now the audience knows their ages, names and where they live. Most of them ranged from 8-14. Absolutely no excuse to push a camera in your kid's face and encourage them to give out personal information.
That reminds me of that absolutely terrifying religious cult family on CZcams. They dress in all white except for the creepy father who is twice the mothers age. They have 10 children yet spend months out of the year living in a caravan, the children are all homeschooled (never a good sign with religious fundamentalists). They named them all after fantasy characters and historical figures (cleopatra, Aphrodite, one is literally named King James) they terrify me
Those kids will never know a life where there isn’t a camera shoved in their face 24/7. They’ll never know privacy, they’ll never be able to set healthy boundaries between themselves and the viewers, and every tragedy or mistake will be put on the air for the world to see. It’s a sad way to grow up; it’s definitely not a healthy environment.
This is also really enabling kidnappings. Ive heard a few mommy vloggers say the same thing: they had an incident where a stranger tried to pick up their kid from school. The person could give the kids full name, parents name, describe their car, house, activities, jobs. I feel like some daycares/schools could get tricked by this. Its just a matter of time.
SO TRUE. Parents used to always say to never give anyone a photo of yourself online or your name or anything about where you live, but now parents are just throwing this information out for anyone to see.
@@beatotheelder6170 It makes people who like privacy seem like freaks. I never post pics of myself online and a bunch of people ended up thinking that they could use a pic of me to blackmail me like I think it's gonna kill me if someone sees my pic. No, Lucy, I just like my privacy I'm not afraid of my picture lol.
I used to be a fan of Dance Moms and a lot of what you said aligns with what happened on that show. They'd put little girls in sexy and skin-colored clothes because that will draw people in out of sheer curiosity. Then people would talk about it and more people would see the show. I don't even know how many times the girls on that show had panic attacks. The producers LOVED that shit. These little girls are saying they can't breathe, and they're so stressed out because they're afraid of their dance teacher. And it's not like their moms could just take them somewhere else, they were contracted to it. And the producers set things up to make people look bad. It didn't matter if it was a child or an adult. For example, Peyton was told to say her and the rest of her team danced better than anyone else there, and they made it look like she said she was better than her teammates. She got death threats on social media because the producers made her look bad. Most of those girls are in their late teens and early 20s. The world watched them grow up. A lot of them (and their mothers) have been talking about the realities of the "reality" show they were on. How fake it was, how being on the show affected their mental health etc. It's becoming too easy to take advantage of vulnerable people and the reasons for doing so are much more narcissistic than ever.
OMG THANK YOU!!! A few weeks ago my daughter was watching a family vlog channel and there was a wildfire, and the mom kept trying to volg and talk about upcoming things for the channel as the dad is telling her they need to pack because it was they were told to be prepared to evacuate soon. And it took the mom like a solid 10 minutes in video to finally start to take it “seriously”. I watched the whole thing because I just couldn’t understand how you would risk putting your family in danger to talk about your vlog. It was also the only video they had with the comments turned off!
@Instagram User Private Detective Lorne Visser: The world is full o' complainers. An' the fact is, nothin' comes with a guarantee. Now I don't care if you're the pope of Rome, President of the United States or Man of the Year; somethin' can all go wrong. Now go on ahead, y'know, complain, tell your problems to your neighbor, ask for help, 'n watch him fly. Now, in Russia, they got it mapped out so that everyone pulls for everyone else... that's the theory, anyway. But what I know about is Texas, an' down here... you're on your own.
Ryan isn't a vlog channel though. He's more of a child actor where the parents (hopefully) take the ethical boundaries to make set pieces for recording but otherwise respect his life. The vlog channels are very different because they exploit normal lives of their children.
I really wish kids, especially like Ryan, could be protected by Coogan's Law. Imagine because the sole breadwinner for your entire family, and never getting a chance to go back to just being a kid before the vlogs and fame. It's sad.
There is also no guarantee he will ever see any of the money he worked for. If his parents are truly awful (I’m not saying they are), they could choose to never give him a dime
I've got a masters degree in child psychology, and honestly Charlie the points you raised are bang on. The saddest part was when you speculated that the majority of children watching these channels are those from broken homes. It's heartbreaking and at the same time the kid is watching a dysfunctional family without even realising they are. Being exposed to these shitty examples of parenting could really mess a child up in the future if they start a family of their own. This is how they're learning to be parents themselves.
Yeah for instance always giving them candy. For real you give your kids candy Everytime they're on camera. That kind of treatment not only would alter how they learn to cope with problems but reinforces filming. Just unhealthy in many ways. IMHO.
Although you could argue the opposite, it could be spoiled/privileged kids that live somewhat sheltered lives and they enjoy seeing other kids get hurt because it's considered taboo. I came from a dysfunctional childhood and I always hated seeing this kind of stuff.
So true. I looked to movies and tv a lot to teach me about life… it didn’t serve me well. Took me a lot of failures and trauma to start really learning.
I believe that when these kids grow older they'll likely realize that their parents never truly loved them like their own and almost always saw them as profit. That kinda stuff hurts man.
Wow holy shit you nailed the kid viewer group. When I was a kid, I used to watch family vlog channels of families going on vacation, going to amusement parks, getting a new dog, etc. I watched that stuff because I wanted to be able to do that stuff. My family was (and still is) VERY low on money, so I would enjoy it through other people.
Personally I find a kid randomly tripping and wiping out kinda funny... I feel bad for old people because of how brittle bones get but anyone falling I guess. But if they like fall out of a tree or off a wall then yeah I'm like oh crap, you okay?! Does that still count?
@@tropicalvikingcreations If them falling looks funny to you that's not really weird. It's weird if you find it funny only because they were in pain or suffering.
@@user-jc6ek5tg1o I find it funny when kids cry out in pain. Perfect example was some kid crying after getting lit with a paintball gun. Only cuz I know the pain and did dumb jackass shit when I was little Edit: I'm astonished how many people find this statement fucked up. Y'all live your childhoods indoors or something?
Makes me glad I grew up in the good old days of the 2000s and early 2010s before this became a problem. I can't imagine growing up in this day and age with CZcams now and social media.
These poor kids are literally going through a Truman Show scenario, except that they've known their whole live that every moment has been broadcasted on CZcams for all to see. I can't imagine how scarring that would be
I’m also concerned because kids especially adolescents often have a mental state called the imaginary audience. It’s where they think everyone is scrutinizing what they do much more than they actually are
The saddest part is that we cannot imagine growing up that way because we didn't, and we know it's wrong. But they don't. That's all they've ever known, it's normal for them. It would be odd if there was no camera around and that just breaks my heart.
Its how most animals and even lifeforms are, imagine all those animals in cages who are born there and will die there too, for their meat as food, reproductive glands for parfume or even just because another creature thinks you look good and wants to keep you in a cage just coe the fun of it. But these creatures dont know any different, its their life and their home, the place they have grown to feel as safe as they get to feel. It makes me angry but all you can do is pinpoint it and either avoid it or do something about it. The definition of life is struggle, and the less you struggle the more you can help others from that struggle. Peace!
@@BigBodyBiggolo This is about abuse of children. Do not make it about anything else for fuck's sake. There's enough room for all kinds of discussion, but don't bring this here. It has nothing to do with the topic.
@@spookypaladin4667 yes it is, it was about how these children dont know that their life is not normal which is on par with the things i said. A lot of people dont know their childhood was bad or abnormal untill they are well into adulthood.
@@BigBodyBiggolo What you're saying now is different than what you said in your first comment. Mind you, what you are saying NOW is something I agree with, as I experienced it myself. I wouldn't argue with that. What I disagree with is bringing up animals and their exploitation into the matter. While I would agree that the treatment is disgusting and straight-up inhumane at times, this discussion is about child abuse, not animals. End of the matter.
I genuinely admire how Charlie is more of a concerned "parent" figure to those kids than to their original parents who filmed their life for years on camera without even considering how they feel. It was heartbreaking to think the negative long-term effects that the kids could have on this type of videos.
As someone who's had really bad social anxiety from a young age, I genuinely cannot imagine being raised in such an environment... it was bad enough being bullied and living in a toxic household, but then to have all that posted to CZcams? I can only imagine how many of these children actually developed really bad anxiety issues as a result of being on camera all the time.
3:03 Yeah, totally. Just another example of these weird families channels; in the same channel (The Prince Family) they had this type of soap opera where the little brother of Damien (the husband of the channel) was trying to hit with Bianca (his wife). The little brother I believe was like 11 or something like that. So, in one of the videos, Damien and Bianca with Damien's dad enter the kid room, and they found a bunch of Bianca photos semi-naked and that kind of stuff. Like Charlie said, these types of family channels would do everything to scratch those juicy views
The way he makes it roll off the tongue is very impressive hell yes. I haven’t had a funny ass friend like him since like high school . He tells it like it is.
The lack of care makes his words feel authentic. He doesn't give a shit. Makes him both funny, relatable and fucking impacftul, dude could hand me a bag of shit and tell it'll solve my crippling low self esteem if I spread one on my left nut every week and I'll believe him.
I'd have to argue that this is probably part of the reason why kids don't seem to understand that they need to protect their personal information. I blamed Twitter culture and carrds for the most part, but that's probably small change compared to the damage family vlog channels do to the concept of privacy in growing kids' minds as they watch this content.
They see it as hating because it calls them out for what they really are. It forces them to be confronted with the fact that they have failed as parents.
Yes! This! If you bring it to their attention that what they’re doing could have negative impacts on their children they always say you’re “hating” or “bringing negativity” to their channel. And they’ll always say that because if they do any sort of self reflection on their actions they wouldn’t be able to justify exploiting their children for their own personal wealth.
never forget the clip where the son was crying and the mom said "ok pretend to cry for the thumbnail" and he said "mom i AM crying" and instead of helping her kid feel better she just made him pose for a thumbnail!
I never thought of the kids from broken homes watching these but as someone who was abused growing up it really did make me tear up thinking about this. I didn’t have CZcams when I was really young, more so when I was a teen but I remember how bad it hurt when I saw other people’s moms being sweet and friendly with their kids. I can only imagine how much more accessible it is for kids to just be able to look up the “perfect family” and get trapped in a cycle of watching to feel something and then feeling even sadder and more hollow after the video ends.
The icky feeling I have after watching every single "family vlog" tells me everything I need to know about these channels. It's gross. The gut feeling I have about these families is just really, really bad vibes

These channels absolutely appeal to pedos. I remember reading a certain AMA on Reddit that made me realize real pedos will get off to even completely normal family pics randomly found on social media. So 'family vlogs' must be a goldmine to them. It's probably the main reason I hate this type of channel. The idea of parents exposing their children to really gross people for money is just deplorable.
fr, i remember watching a Yt video about this. they would show weird comments on kids videos and stuff. i’m glad youtube removed comments on videos made for kids
When I was a kid, whenever I threw a fit about anything, my parents would record it, and threaten to send it to CZcams... thank god they never did... but they told me later in life that they didn't... but at the time they would say "uploading it to CZcams" and sure it got me to quit throwing the fit... but I was so scared to go to school the next day thinking the other students would judge me
that’s one thing i like about the EU: it’s literally illegal to post a photo/video with a child in it without the child’s face being blurred. that’s something all countries should do.
Any article with this law? I looked it up and can't find anything. And I think that's a bit extreme. A mother showing a picture of her kid on social media (no face blurred) to her friends and family is different than some family vlog channel posting every moment of their kids' life. I wonder if this also applies to teenagers under 18 with social media accounts of their own. Like, can a 17-year-old girl post a picture of herself without blurring her face?
I am from Europe and pictures of kids are constantly posted. But I assume you talk about intelectual l property law that makes it possible to sue person who uses your pic without your consent. I am not sure if it really protects kids from its parents though.
Shoutout to the "Family/personal" Vlogs that keep their kids off-camera and blur their faces when they do appear on camera and instead focus on their own adventures and hobbies. Respecting your child's privacy and autonomy and recognize that your child is not for monetization. Children are people. They deserve privacy.
@@callumlikesoldeenglish1649 I know a cooking CZcamsr I follow EmmyMade happens to have 2 kids and tries to respect their privacy at all given points given the fact she's a content creator. I think one of the only times one of her kids stumbled in, or even made an appearance she blurred their face
one family vlog channel i hate with a passion is 8 passengers. they sent their son to an abusive wilderness therapy program bc he played a harmless prank on his little brother. they also didn't give him a room for 7 months and he was forced to sleep on the floor (a bean bag being the next best thing)
I remember forever ago this one family channel clickbaited their son going blind from the solar eclipse They soon after deleted the video and apologized
As a teacher, I can confirm kids absolutely, positively LOVE watching other kids get injured and cry. It's top quality entertainment for a child to watch other children suffer. As for the adults, I don't know.
I feel very sad for the children in these videos, their disgusting parents exploiting for money is terrible. I'm surprised child labor and abuse laws aren't being enforced on these channels.
@@raeradig7283 Not even 30s... maybe late teens early adulthood. I cannot imagine how going to college will be for them. A whole lot of unresolved trauma would ruin your college years, I've seen it happen. Very sad ):
I absolutely love linus' (from linus tech tips) stance on this. He always asks his kids wether they would like to be in the video, and because he's making money he pays them a fair wage. even though they're underage.
"disney kids" is what comes to mind when talking about this topic. Its sad, I hope all the kids turn out alright. Edit: I mostly mean child actors that have grown up and turned out to have some sort of mental illness due to their childhood, i didn't mean anything mean by it. have a good day! ps. love the vids, Charlie :)
Rhett and Link do parenting as a CZcamsr correctly imo They keep their kids' privacy and let them cameo on an episode if they want to occasionally, and most times will refuse to talk about anecdotes that their kids might not want to be out there. They put the kids first, knowing not all of them will grow up and want their bad days to be on the Internet for anyone to see
God this would make me feel so crazy. Imagine looking back like “this day sucked” just to see it looking so perfect. It’s almost like gaslighting, I’d totally doubt my memories and wonder if the day was actually fine and I was just the problem or something. And that’s just one way I’d feel crazy!! Don’t even get me started on feeling like you’re screaming and nobody can hear you over your parents fucked up narrative that everything is great. So many ways to fuck up your kid with one video!!! Heartbreaking to think of the kids trying to process as they get older
Reminds me of Gary Crosby's claims about his father, Bing Crosby: "Then the lights came on and the movie was over. All the way back to the house I thought about the difference between the person up there on the screen and the one I knew at home."
You just made me realize that for the same reason people watch mukbang videos to slate food lust, kids watch other kids playing with toys and getting alot of family attention, etc. because they may not get that themselves. It's such a weird thing to think about, but that's got to be what's happening. One of my nephews LOVED hobby kids so much, he would watch them constantly. It's essentially just a few kids who get new toys and get to play with them. Until now, I didn't really get why he was so drawn to it. It makes total sense.
My son is 6. People say he is gorgeous and should be on SoMe - no he shouldn't. He shouldn't even do modelling. There's not 1 public picture of him. Just imagine him being 15, having pictures, let alone videos, of him as a 6 year old being publicly available......Some people are out of their minds.
I just got back from a rlly toxic place and have been slowly recovering, and you have been helping me a lot with your videos that make me laugh honestly charlie. Ik you prob won't see this, but also all of you, this entire fanbase, for the most part, are just rlly cool and whenever I interact with any of you you're all usually rlly chill and I gotta thank you all for that... hopefully youtube won't delete this comment but thank you to anyone who sees this and to you bro

can't imagine the actual trauma you grow up with when every time you need to open up, confess, get upset/cry to your parents, their first reaction is to grab a camera and shamelessly record you without hiding it while you desperately seek actual parenting
I hope their children grow up and to never follow their example. I genuinely feel bad for the kids, having every bit of their personal lives put onto the internet.
I completely agree! What really makes me angry is when these parents film their kids when they're sick or just having a very vulnerable moment and they post it online for millions to see and comment on.
Seeing as the prince family were in an underaged situation when they started dating it makes sense. He was 20 and she was 15. She literally had to ride her bike to get a pregnancy test because she couldn't drive.
@@D0MIN0W4LKER 😐Ok, I'll bite. What happens when you pour some yeast in perfectly good milk? Lets say it's skim milk in this instance...one gallon. From Publix.
I can't get that clip out of my head of the mother and son inside their car at the vets that you shared, where she was asking him to cry for the camera over their dog. He legit just wanted a sincere cuddle from his mum and she was just asking him to look sad. The real gut punch was his response of "I am sad, I am crying" or words to that effect. It was months ago, and as a father it has stuck with me. How many more moments like that happen in these vlog houses? Makes me shudder man...
This is the exact clip I was thinking of too. Very emotionally neglectful and abusive. As someone who was emotionally abused that video made me feel physically sick- and that kind of thing probably happens to that kid all the time...
@@Alice-wf4pu She deleted her channel, but her name is Jordan Cheyenne and Charlie has covered it czcams.com/video/jaR-tvLTdyk/video.html Edit: She has remade her channel and it really does continue to seem like she couldn't care less about what she's done, she was just sad her revenue was cut in the months she was under too much fire to post content. Very stinky vibes
This reminds me of one time when my older sister used to watch a family vlog channel. Once one of their kids got sick during a family vacation and the next upload apparently people called the hotel they were staying at and were asking if the kid was okay.
For the adults who have this attachment to family channels, it feels very “One Hour Photo” like. “One Hour Photo” is a movie with Robin Williams playing a photo development technician at a store who gets obsessed with one of the families that gets their photos developed there because he’s lonely, so he forms this parasocial relationship with them and feels like he’s a part of their lives and imagines he’s a part of the memories in the photos they take. As for the kids of the family vlog channels, I can’t imagine the level of paranoia that would come from being constantly seen by millions regularly. Feeling like you have to be “palatable” and socially perform, becoming too closed off to enforce boundaries you never had, becoming too open because you’re used to the scrutiny and display, etc. it’s overall a destructive thing for everyone
Knowing evil family channels like these exist and continue to make a killing on their children's suffering is certainly one more out of countless fucked up things on this earth that make me feel like the eye nightmare scene in that movie. Edit: Hell, this thread got me watching One Hour Photo again... and the dialogue scene of Sy at the end not only heavily touches upon traumatized children's need for parasocial interaction, but also _horrendously predicts_ the difficult adult life dealing with said trauma that the children of these family channels will have to face in the future: czcams.com/video/OdU3vEh3qfs/video.html *_(obvious spoilers for those who haven't watched the movie)_*
As someone with chronic pain and fatigue and constantly going to the doctor when i was younger -still do now too - I can’t imagine how much more miserable I would’ve been if my parents brought a camera with them to every appointment just to film me crying and struggling to get help. Just thinking about it makes me so sad and my heart feels for any kids that actually have to go through that.

This is absolutely the final straw, my KIDS ARE IN DANGER and I won't live in this nation another day! I'M MOVING TO ALASKA AND FINALLY LEAVING THE USA!!!
I have two daughters, aged 7 and 5. They started watching those channels and I cracked down on it hard. It was encouraging bad behavior, exaggerated and over-the-top reactions and no impulse control. I got them into let's play channels (like minecraft and mario) and music channels. Really helped getting those vlog channels out of their system.
@@fabulousalenore56 Thanks, I try. I know a lot of people would think I'm terrible because I let them watch playthroughs of horror games or listen to Ninja Sex Party. I go by how their behavior is influenced. I talk to them and see if after pointing out and explaining something that could be problematic they are able to watch the thing and still behave like a decent person.
Charlie hit the nail on the head, when I was a young lad I was a frequent watcher of the Shaytards channel for the exact reasons he described. It was so great to see a family that seemed so happy despite not having much. Family vlog channels were always going to end up like this, but it still makes me sad. The world is fucked.
6:55 I was actually listing to a podcast with him as a guest (this podcast was like 2 years ago) but whoever the ace family dad is was a guest and was mentioning how his *2 year old daughter* is into the schedule and knows when to film and when not to film, it’s sad man just sad.
I remember CZcamsr Totalbiscuit mentioning that his young son wanted to be in his videos, but that he turned him down every time. He knew as soon as he exposed his son to the true force of the internet, it would change his life forever, most likely for the worse. I admired a lot of TB's qualities, but his understanding that he needed to be a responsible parent in that way always stood out to me.
@@MoonTurky let's also pretend that the internet is a weird dark magic that instantly corrupts anyone who becomes famous on it and that people aren't just revealing their true nature
@@MoonTurky TB wasn't an e-celeb, he was a game reviewer, and a relatively small one at that. He also died of cancer, so maybe don't be a shithead bro?
it depresses me when i go into my *local* tesco extra, which isn't even a full-scale tesco shop, and i see a pack of Ryan's World mystery minis or whatever
I can say with 100% certainty, that if I had grown up and all the bullshit I went through, especially as a 15-18 year old, was filmed and publicised, I would’ve turned into a menace fr💀this is creating a generation of literal jokers😭
When I was a child I used to watch family vlogs because I was in an abusive family and also in solitary confinement in an institution every day for six years, (no I didn't watch while in solitary that's not how it works) and watching these families helped me pretend I had a loving and caring functional family.
It’s not even just family’s either, it’s couples as well. I remember seeing a tiktok of this woman filming her husband who was crying outside of the house with the caption “I’ve never seen him cry before, this is so sad”. Clearly the guy went outside and cried to avoid shame, and then she films him and puts him on the fucking internet for views.
Finally. I'm so happy he addressed this. Alot of these families prefer the views than the experiences with their children. Little to no privacy for these kids and the stress must be unreal.
When I was younger I always wanted to have a family vlog channel I mean what 7-10 Year old wouldn't want that. Now that I am 13 I realize the bad things that these family vlog channels are doing.
This reminds me this text from one of Polish historians, Wojciech Drewniak, talking about Amber Chamber: 🇵🇱 _Tylko po co był Fryderykowi pokój, 11x10m, którego wykonanie zajęło kilka miesięcy, bo caluśki był wypełniony złotem (w sensie pokój, a nie Fryderyk)?_ 🇬🇧 ,,But why Frederick needed a room, 11x10m, whoose making took over several months, as he was all packed with gold (I mean, room, not Friderick)?"
Just pick an algorithm-friendly name at this point, the amount of unnecessary clickbait you'll make about your bad parenting will be organically pushed so many more people will get to watch his life getting ruined before their eyes.
Beleaf In Fatherhood is a great family channel. The dad’s name is Beleaf haha. And he does commentary throughout his videos. He’s really funny and breaks down the emotions his children go through. He makes music that’s actually not bad. He always says shit like “I have a lot to learn and my kids are my teachers”. His family is black and he uses that to uplift his children. I love them haha
As a parent I don't even put photos of my kid on social media. It feels wrong because they can't consent. When they're older I can imagine them being weirded out about all their pics being shared.
I have pictures of me and my brother on underwear posted on facebook by family members from 2014 and so, and it honestly disgusts me and I just wish no one sees them and for me to forget this, another reason I hate using social media and cannot use it, I just hate people like this
@@Lucas-Nunes There are many growth hacking (new marketing methods) tools that allow anyone to find public user profiles on social medias based on location, interests, family situation, career, etc... The worst enemy to privacy is not the companies or the governments, it's the fucking humans sharing their privacy to each others. People crying out and spending 100s of dollars in VPN, anti-virus, password vaults, encryption tools, etc... Are the same ones who share their lives on social medias. It's like going the extra miles to put triple layers of obstruction to your windows but letting your front door open with a sign that say "we got anything you looking for in there". I hope for you your family understands and choose to delete these pictures before some creeps save them and start sharing them around. It happened to a lot of folks in the early 2000s unfortunately and these pictured are still being uploaded to shady websites and message boards. :/
@@charlesm.2604 Sorry for late response btw My family is filled with, and I mean it, stupid people I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere where technology is difficult-ish to access and most people are dumb with it I don't have social media due to my privacy No wait My family made one FOR me without telling me and giving most of my personal information in said facebook profile I can't delete it myself, so I simply deleted the app and hope it is forgotten
@@Lucas-Nunes Small towns are the worst when it comes to technology awareness. My family was from one too but thank god I became a software engineer so I could move out for this shit hole ! As far as your account goes I'd say unfortunately it's already too late. There are thousands of program owned by third party entities called "scrappers" that navigate social medias and parse public profiles to store user informations into databases. Chances are your account has already been processed by multiple scrappers at this point. The only way to get red it of it is to manually delete it (and have access to it) but the scrappers who already processed it have won. If you are really scared, foil hat andy, you could always make new accounts with the same name and same past but with new present. Lie about your eduction, relationship, current country/city, join groups you don't care about, etc... That way scrappers who already have processed your original account will find one of those fake accounts, get confused about who is he real you and update their database with fake data.
@@Lucas-Nunes But you won't be able to escape Facebook itself using this method. Facebook are able to track people who don't even own Facebook accounts. They use what are known are "Graph Based Algorithms" to deduct related internet users that have never interacted with each others. It's kinda crazy when you hear it but it's a very common practice as well.
The saddest part is that there is a demand for such vlogs. There are a ton of creeps who are watching those videos, following the lives of other families/ children. And while there will be demand, there will be supply.
Family vlog channels appeal to the people who feel insecure about their own families, they want to rise up to the standards of the “dream” family when in reality that family is miserable
Over in France, they're trying to pass a law to count it as child labour.
Great

I think 10+ years down the road we will see some lawsuits when these kids get older.
Lawsuit against their own parents?
@@kachow5830 Why Not? Family means shit after those kind of actions Charlie mentioned.
@@TheCapableConcoction luckily Cody’s with his bio mom who isn’t abusive so I have a feeling she’d help him sue.
@@kachow5830 yeah, former child actors do it sometimes.
@@kachow5830 there is a history of people suing their own parents. Even putting them to jail.
When I was a kid like 15years ago I went to school with a girl who’s mom ran a “mommy blog”. Privacy did not exist in that house, everything got posted. Her every tantrum, bad day, overtired whining or injury got posted for thousands of anonymous strangers and to make it worse kids at school found it and bullied her about it. A lot of kids weren’t allowed to be friends with her because they’d be talked about in the next entry. I fully believe mommy blogs and family CZcams channels that post every day are abusive because to keep up with that schedule you have to do away with privacy to generate enough content
Social media era really brings out the narcissism in everyone including parents... ((shudders))
That's so crazy. We're watching this happen right before our eyes too.
Gone girl was a famous movie about that happening, surprised nobody talks about it
Really it does I can't imagine what kids feel these days. I feel bad for them. I am lucky enough to have parents that didn't believe in post stuff online unless it's stuff like holidays or dinner parties.
Family vlog channels actually used to be good. Channels like evantube and funnel vision were our childhoods
Along with family vlog channels, I absolutely HATE channels with neurodivergent kids and adults getting babied just because of their disability. I saw a mom on tiktok film her son having a breakdown and posting it on the internet for "educational" purposes. It's not educational, it's humiliating and its sickening how normal it is for neurodivergent people to be taken advantage of in vulnerable moments where privacy is needed the most.
Even worst if the abuse on children does count. Daddyofive is an infamous example of what every parents shouldn't be. I'm glad the two kids (Cody and Emma) cut ties with the dad and step mom stay with their real mom who won the custody. Everyone on the web knows what's going.
The reupload of the videos does exist but it displays the legacy as one of the worst CZcamsrs on the list.
Agree 100%. There's this one channel called Fathering Autism that's particularly bad with this. (or at least they used to be- I haven't heard anything about them in a while) The dad claims their channel is to help other parents with autistic kids, but believe it or not, there's a way to do that WITHOUT shoving a camera in your kid's face 24/7 and violating their privacy. It's pretty clear their daughter doesn't even want to be on camera most of the time anyway. Just because someone has a disability and is, in the case of this kid, nonverbal, doesn't mean they don't deserve the same rights to privacy as everyone else.
absolutely. "autism moms" are some of the worst people ive ever had the misfortune of encountering online. half of them write articles about hating their child and wishing they would be cured. they talk about how their kids make THEIR lives harder without considering the pressure theyre constantly putting on their kids. a lot of them straight up film their kids having breakdowns and post it publicly. imagine being that kid, growing up, and finding the videos/articles of your mom broadcasting your symptoms to the entire world and wishing you were "normal". what a nightmare
it's sooo sickening
Is that the new term for the mentally disabled or are you talking about something else
childhood is embarrassing enough as it is, imagine every cringey moment of your childhood being widespread on the internet
It’s really sad tbh, but we can only hope for the best and try to reach out and help
Ikr ive seen cringe moments
I remember cringey moments and embarrassing times even decades later. Having a parent put it online though is another thing. All of it is abuse to me.
horrible!
I am so glad that my childhood was never documented like this. I can't imagine how embarrassing this will be for these kids when they become teenagers
Another reason why the dislike counter should come back: To show that the general viewing public do not want to see these horrible clout chasers exploit their children.
While I agree, it's mostly little kids who watch those videos so they don't know any better.
This is the exact reason they removed it, to prevent people like Charlie sending (either on purpose or not) over to dislike bomb crap like this.
this crap makes youtube a LOT of money, why would they want it removed? they can't be seen helping this content because then they can't claim they ignorance, but that can remove obstacles for 'other' reasons that just so happen to help content like this and the content farms that spew out fake and dangerous how to style videos.
Most of them remove the dislike or like ability when that happens which they can do for videos made for kids.
But what about CNN and the corporate news. How will people take them serious with their 90% dislike ratio
@@xxx0ox0 that would be great! See how the public really feels about their versions of “news”
The only “good” family vlog channel I’ve ever seen is this one woman on tiktok who started by just filming tiktoks of making her kids lunch, and her kids actually ASKED to be in the tiktoks, and whenever a kid is crying or doesn’t wanna be on camera she NEVER shows them on camera. And even just based on the way she packs their lunches and knows all their favorite foods and snacks is very very wholesome.
There’s a few good gems. Not all of it is bad or exposes things that shouldn’t be seen. I think some people forget that we don’t live with these people. Not everyone is out to do malicious shit.
So anyway, thecampisis channel is funny, it’s mostly the husband and wife ball busting each other, with occasional appearances from the kids. The other one I love is Beleaf in Fatherhood. He actually has educational videos where he just really shows you what it’s like being a parent of his family. You get to see all the interaction with his kids, and he psychologically breaks down and analyzes things. It’s also impressive to see the levels of communication skills his family has, all the way down to the youngest baby who’s maybe like 2? it’s pretty interesting and the intention is clearly not to expose anything so it’s all good by me.
@@WTFisHappeningToMe I don't remember the name or anything but i watched a documentary about a japanese single father making a bento for his daughter throughout her high-school days and including a special note with every single lunch. It was very wholesome and like a transfer of wisdom and anecdotes in in notes. Very special.
Channels like Funnel Vision and Eh Bee Family are actually good and not abusive
First mistake was using TikTok
There is also a different channel on tik tok that is just parents recording while there babies do silly things and one in them does have a disease but they almost never talk about it.
I've had many arguments with my mom as a teen whenever she was sharing things about me with my own blood related aunts. I would have gone totally mad if she had shared my personal life with the whole world. At that age you're still discovering and experimenting and you don't need to be micromanaged by everyone giving their two cents.
My mom told every single family member immediately when she learned I was gay by going through my personal things. She never questioned it. She still doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
My mom told the whole family from my neighbors (everyone was there for a birthday, we all knew them and were invited too) I had my first period and she didn't understand why I got really uncomfortable and left immediately
@@fart63 wtf, that's messed up. Sorry that happened. That's not up to her to share with others without consulting you first. I don't know where you live but it could even impact your safety
The same thing happened with me and whenever that happened, my family was really annoying about it.
THAT "ZAMN!" THING IS AN ACTUAL UNIRONIC THUMBNAIL?????? I THOUGHT IT WAS MADE BY SOME MEME CHANNEL OR SOMETHING
That's what I thought too until someone pointed out it's real. This means at least 2 adults who raise children and vote, made this thumbnail and video, and then decided it was a good idea to post it, then thousands more people clicked on this video thinking it was worth watching and keeping in the back of their mind that they might see a lewd 12 year old.
I want out of this fucking timeline.
@@mahoodyal-ghazaali9947 I-when you explain like that . How do these people still have views?
Its real?!
ZAMN!!!
Yes, and for some reason, the video was out there for a considerably long time. Unsurprisingly, the comments were full of ZAMN memes too. I remember searching for it thinking that it must be down already, only for it to be the first result
Another reason the disliked numbers should come back: to show that the general public doesn't want to see these horribly influential hunters exploit their children.
Our next best bet it to tweet/make videos of our disdain for this "content". Surely an influx with videos pointing this out could make a point. Idk
Dislikes never did anything, I wish people would stop acting like it impacted anything ever posted on here just because it's gone now. I don't watch family vlogs, and don't give them views. Even if you did dislike, your view still counted and now your algorithm is fucked up until you manually tell it to stop show you related content........ 🙄🙄
@@psomichelle2758 dislikes are what informs most viewers about the legitimacy or validity of a video. Removing it was a terrible choice on CZcams's end. It being removed means that the only way you'd be able to tell if a video is good or not is to go to the comment section which can be heavily filtered by the creator so it doesn't really make sense. They removed it because of "harassment" and "dislike bombing" which would be valid reasons for giving the creator a choice of hiding the dislikes, not removing it from the platform as a whole.
Thank youuuuuu 🙏🏻
@@cesj1 this absolutely isn't true; there have been multiple times where videos have been bombarded with dislikes and negative comments, even if what the person was saying wasn't bad/was true, or videos of blatant lies/misinformation being spread that faced very little criticism; a video having a good like to dislike ratio only means something in terms of legitimacy if the creator doesn't have a decently sized supportive audience.

Exactly
That is a thing I spoke with a relative of mine about recently. There absolutely will be documentaries and discussions about this in the future when time moves on. And a lot of messed up stuff will come to light probably too. It's really disheartening to think about tbh.

Roman Atwood does it so he can have memories of his kids I wish we had more family videos
My (mentally ill) mother watches family channels on CZcams and she has no clue how they harm children.
The one she watches FOSTERS and adopts, and currently has 21 children in their care. I cringe everytime she blasts it on her iPad.
I was absolutely floored when I heard the parents asking all their kids for their ages, names, STATE, and not just their state...but TOWN that they all live in. Wtf? Not only are you showing your kid's face on camera, but now the audience knows their ages, names and where they live. Most of them ranged from 8-14.
Absolutely no excuse to push a camera in your kid's face and encourage them to give out personal information.
That reminds me of that absolutely terrifying religious cult family on CZcams. They dress in all white except for the creepy father who is twice the mothers age. They have 10 children yet spend months out of the year living in a caravan, the children are all homeschooled (never a good sign with religious fundamentalists). They named them all after fantasy characters and historical figures (cleopatra, Aphrodite, one is literally named King James) they terrify me
Jesus, legally you can't share names or videos of foster kids (sadly, adopted kids are not spared) so that's legitimately illegal.
Those kids will never know a life where there isn’t a camera shoved in their face 24/7. They’ll never know privacy, they’ll never be able to set healthy boundaries between themselves and the viewers, and every tragedy or mistake will be put on the air for the world to see. It’s a sad way to grow up; it’s definitely not a healthy environment.
This is also really enabling kidnappings. Ive heard a few mommy vloggers say the same thing: they had an incident where a stranger tried to pick up their kid from school. The person could give the kids full name, parents name, describe their car, house, activities, jobs. I feel like some daycares/schools could get tricked by this. Its just a matter of time.
SO TRUE. Parents used to always say to never give anyone a photo of yourself online or your name or anything about where you live, but now parents are just throwing this information out for anyone to see.
Fucking terrifying

@@Nitro956 because it's not illegal
Why do I keep finding you in the comments Cody lmao
Not disagreeing with ur point but differently would those kid behave when they grow compared to normal children?
I used to be a fan of Dance Moms and a lot of what you said aligns with what happened on that show. They'd put little girls in sexy and skin-colored clothes because that will draw people in out of sheer curiosity. Then people would talk about it and more people would see the show.
I don't even know how many times the girls on that show had panic attacks. The producers LOVED that shit. These little girls are saying they can't breathe, and they're so stressed out because they're afraid of their dance teacher. And it's not like their moms could just take them somewhere else, they were contracted to it.
And the producers set things up to make people look bad. It didn't matter if it was a child or an adult. For example, Peyton was told to say her and the rest of her team danced better than anyone else there, and they made it look like she said she was better than her teammates. She got death threats on social media because the producers made her look bad.
Most of those girls are in their late teens and early 20s. The world watched them grow up. A lot of them (and their mothers) have been talking about the realities of the "reality" show they were on. How fake it was, how being on the show affected their mental health etc. It's becoming too easy to take advantage of vulnerable people and the reasons for doing so are much more narcissistic than ever.
What do you mean you were a fan?
@@shelby5809 kids like to watch those shows. My sister watched them and wanted to dress like them so she could be a dancer. It creeped me out
OMG THANK YOU!!! A few weeks ago my daughter was watching a family vlog channel and there was a wildfire, and the mom kept trying to volg and talk about upcoming things for the channel as the dad is telling her they need to pack because it was they were told to be prepared to evacuate soon. And it took the mom like a solid 10 minutes in video to finally start to take it “seriously”. I watched the whole thing because I just couldn’t understand how you would risk putting your family in danger to talk about your vlog. It was also the only video they had with the comments turned off!

Ryan isn't a vlog channel though. He's more of a child actor where the parents (hopefully) take the ethical boundaries to make set pieces for recording but otherwise respect his life. The vlog channels are very different because they exploit normal lives of their children.
Minecraft cringe
@Wimi Sasha is this like an ancient aztec curse or something
I really wish kids, especially like Ryan, could be protected by Coogan's Law. Imagine because the sole breadwinner for your entire family, and never getting a chance to go back to just being a kid before the vlogs and fame. It's sad.
There is also no guarantee he will ever see any of the money he worked for. If his parents are truly awful (I’m not saying they are), they could choose to never give him a dime
I just love watching Charlie after my mom yells at me. Really calms me down.
i hope things get better man.
I've got a masters degree in child psychology, and honestly Charlie the points you raised are bang on. The saddest part was when you speculated that the majority of children watching these channels are those from broken homes. It's heartbreaking and at the same time the kid is watching a dysfunctional family without even realising they are. Being exposed to these shitty examples of parenting could really mess a child up in the future if they start a family of their own. This is how they're learning to be parents themselves.
Yeah for instance always giving them candy. For real you give your kids candy Everytime they're on camera. That kind of treatment not only would alter how they learn to cope with problems but reinforces filming. Just unhealthy in many ways. IMHO.
Although you could argue the opposite, it could be spoiled/privileged kids that live somewhat sheltered lives and they enjoy seeing other kids get hurt because it's considered taboo. I came from a dysfunctional childhood and I always hated seeing this kind of stuff.
I'm interested. May you share any more detail
@@user-cg7tj7cu4m true
So true. I looked to movies and tv a lot to teach me about life… it didn’t serve me well. Took me a lot of failures and trauma to start really learning.
How do we rebrand exploiting our children's privacy for money so it's socially acceptable? I got it! We'll call it a "Family Vlog Channel."
Sup bro
Common tactic exploiters do. Rebrand what they are doing.
You have to make a video!!
👀
Holy crap I didnt know you watched critical. Thats pretty neat.
I believe that when these kids grow older they'll likely realize that their parents never truly loved them like their own and almost always saw them as profit. That kinda stuff hurts man.
Wow holy shit you nailed the kid viewer group.
When I was a kid, I used to watch family vlog channels of families going on vacation, going to amusement parks, getting a new dog, etc.
I watched that stuff because I wanted to be able to do that stuff. My family was (and still is) VERY low on money, so I would enjoy it through other people.
There is nothing creepier than the grown adults who revel in watching small children getting injured or being punished
Personally I find a kid randomly tripping and wiping out kinda funny... I feel bad for old people because of how brittle bones get but anyone falling I guess.
But if they like fall out of a tree or off a wall then yeah I'm like oh crap, you okay?!
Does that still count?
@@tropicalvikingcreations If them falling looks funny to you that's not really weird. It's weird if you find it funny only because they were in pain or suffering.

Makes me glad I grew up in the good old days of the 2000s and early 2010s before this became a problem. I can't imagine growing up in this day and age with CZcams now and social media.
Same brother, except I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s way before CZcams.
The concept of always being filmed and judged online all day every day seems like a vault-tech experiment from the fallout games
These poor kids are literally going through a Truman Show scenario, except that they've known their whole live that every moment has been broadcasted on CZcams for all to see. I can't imagine how scarring that would be
What I've been saying but people actually subscribe to that. I understand if they don't mind it but the kids have to understand that.
That isn’t necessarly scarring if nobody tells them it’s scarring. They’ll just grow up different than you or your grandpa grew
Or most kids on CZcams will go insane mark my words
I’m also concerned because kids especially adolescents often have a mental state called the imaginary audience. It’s where they think everyone is scrutinizing what they do much more than they actually are
If moist was a superhero, his power would be common sense, and he would destroy anybody in his path
Well he is a superhero, and his power IS common sense.

The saddest part is that we cannot imagine growing up that way because we didn't, and we know it's wrong. But they don't. That's all they've ever known, it's normal for them. It would be odd if there was no camera around and that just breaks my heart.
Welcome to abusive households 101 the victim doesn't even realize he is being abused
Its how most animals and even lifeforms are, imagine all those animals in cages who are born there and will die there too, for their meat as food, reproductive glands for parfume or even just because another creature thinks you look good and wants to keep you in a cage just coe the fun of it.
But these creatures dont know any different, its their life and their home, the place they have grown to feel as safe as they get to feel.
It makes me angry but all you can do is pinpoint it and either avoid it or do something about it.
The definition of life is struggle, and the less you struggle the more you can help others from that struggle.
Peace!
@@BigBodyBiggolo This is about abuse of children. Do not make it about anything else for fuck's sake. There's enough room for all kinds of discussion, but don't bring this here. It has nothing to do with the topic.
@@spookypaladin4667 yes it is, it was about how these children dont know that their life is not normal which is on par with the things i said.

@@BigBodyBiggolo What you're saying now is different than what you said in your first comment. Mind you, what you are saying NOW is something I agree with, as I experienced it myself. I wouldn't argue with that. What I disagree with is bringing up animals and their exploitation into the matter. While I would agree that the treatment is disgusting and straight-up inhumane at times, this discussion is about child abuse, not animals. End of the matter.
I genuinely admire how Charlie is more of a concerned "parent" figure to those kids than to their original parents who filmed their life for years on camera without even considering how they feel. It was heartbreaking to think the negative long-term effects that the kids could have on this type of videos.

All kids deserve parents but not everyone deserves to be a parent. I also like to think that Charlie would make a good dad if he ever wanted to be
@@chucknorris277 Charlie is a good guy, there’s nothing wrong with admiring him for actually caring about these kids
All children deserves to have a household not all households deserve children
EDIT: someone already said it
As someone who's had really bad social anxiety from a young age, I genuinely cannot imagine being raised in such an environment... it was bad enough being bullied and living in a toxic household, but then to have all that posted to CZcams? I can only imagine how many of these children actually developed really bad anxiety issues as a result of being on camera all the time.

Yeah, totally. Just another example of these weird families channels; in the same channel (The Prince Family) they had this type of soap opera where the little brother of Damien (the husband of the channel) was trying to hit with Bianca (his wife). The little brother I believe was like 11 or something like that. So, in one of the videos, Damien and Bianca with Damien's dad enter the kid room, and they found a bunch of Bianca photos semi-naked and that kind of stuff.
Like Charlie said, these types of family channels would do everything to scratch those juicy views
Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child :(
I love that saying because it's true

I'd have to argue that this is probably part of the reason why kids don't seem to understand that they need to protect their personal information. I blamed Twitter culture and carrds for the most part, but that's probably small change compared to the damage family vlog channels do to the concept of privacy in growing kids' minds as they watch this content.
Damn around 9:00 onward, that sounds creepy yet sad af. Idk what to feel about those mothers
What scares me is that these families just view this as hating not someone being legitimately concerned.
Which is disgusting and to be expected
You sir are speaking facts
They see it as hating because it calls them out for what they really are. It forces them to be confronted with the fact that they have failed as parents.
Can't see past their own bank account, they'll milk it till they're kicked off the platform
Yes! This! If you bring it to their attention that what they’re doing could have negative impacts on their children they always say you’re “hating” or “bringing negativity” to their channel. And they’ll always say that because if they do any sort of self reflection on their actions they wouldn’t be able to justify exploiting their children for their own personal wealth.
never forget the clip where the son was crying and the mom said "ok pretend to cry for the thumbnail" and he said "mom i AM crying" and instead of helping her kid feel better she just made him pose for a thumbnail!
Exactly and there are hundreds of not thousands of mothers who do the exact same thing.

@@TeamBOBBYEE what...
I never thought of the kids from broken homes watching these but as someone who was abused growing up it really did make me tear up thinking about this. I didn’t have CZcams when I was really young, more so when I was a teen but I remember how bad it hurt when I saw other people’s moms being sweet and friendly with their kids. I can only imagine how much more accessible it is for kids to just be able to look up the “perfect family” and get trapped in a cycle of watching to feel something and then feeling even sadder and more hollow after the video ends.
The icky feeling I have after watching every single "family vlog" tells me everything I need to know about these channels. It's gross. The gut feeling I have about these families is just really, really bad vibes

@@comfortzoneking8785 don't bring up politics here you bot
U literally just said one of Charlie's first lines in this videos.
These channels absolutely appeal to pedos. I remember reading a certain AMA on Reddit that made me realize real pedos will get off to even completely normal family pics randomly found on social media. So 'family vlogs' must be a goldmine to them. It's probably the main reason I hate this type of channel. The idea of parents exposing their children to really gross people for money is just deplorable.
fr, i remember watching a Yt video about this. they would show weird comments on kids videos and stuff. i’m glad youtube removed comments on videos made for kids
I'm morbidly curious, do you think you could find the AMA?
Your pfp makes me proud.
Couldn’t you say that about children’s show’s that feature real human children? Not defending family channels either, I hate them.
redditors are predditors
When I was a kid, whenever I threw a fit about anything, my parents would record it, and threaten to send it to CZcams... thank god they never did... but they told me later in life that they didn't... but at the time they would say "uploading it to CZcams" and sure it got me to quit throwing the fit... but I was so scared to go to school the next day thinking the other students would judge me
that’s one thing i like about the EU: it’s literally illegal to post a photo/video with a child in it without the child’s face being blurred. that’s something all countries should do.
Any article with this law? I looked it up and can't find anything. And I think that's a bit extreme. A mother showing a picture of her kid on social media (no face blurred) to her friends and family is different than some family vlog channel posting every moment of their kids' life.
I wonder if this also applies to teenagers under 18 with social media accounts of their own. Like, can a 17-year-old girl post a picture of herself without blurring her face?
I am from Europe and pictures of kids are constantly posted. But I assume you talk about intelectual
l property law that makes it possible to sue person who uses your pic without your consent. I am not sure if it really protects kids from its parents though.
Shoutout to the "Family/personal" Vlogs that keep their kids off-camera and blur their faces when they do appear on camera and instead focus on their own adventures and hobbies. Respecting your child's privacy and autonomy and recognize that your child is not for monetization. Children are people. They deserve privacy.
Do you have a example

I can’t imagine my childhood just being a life with a camera shoved in my face and having people watching me
This is probably the best explanation on family vlogs
Rhett and Link do parenting as a CZcamsr correctly imo
They keep their kids' privacy and let them cameo on an episode if they want to occasionally, and most times will refuse to talk about anecdotes that their kids might not want to be out there.
They put the kids first, knowing not all of them will grow up and want their bad days to be on the Internet for anyone to see
Thats the first channel that came to mind that did it right
Wha5t about roman atwood i think he in orporates his kids and family in a fun way
Philip DeFranco's another good example. His son only makes a cameo once in a blue moon and Phil rarely ever talks about his family life in his videos.
Ethan and hila Klein of H3H3 are also a great example
DanTDM too, refuses to show Asher's face and very rarely shows him in videos
Imagine the kids growing up and seeing themselves looking "happy" with their family on the internet.
God this would make me feel so crazy. Imagine looking back like “this day sucked” just to see it looking so perfect. It’s almost like gaslighting, I’d totally doubt my memories and wonder if the day was actually fine and I was just the problem or something. And that’s just one way I’d feel crazy!! Don’t even get me started on feeling like you’re screaming and nobody can hear you over your parents fucked up narrative that everything is great. So many ways to fuck up your kid with one video!!! Heartbreaking to think of the kids trying to process as they get older

Reminds me of Gary Crosby's claims about his father, Bing Crosby: "Then the lights came on and the movie was over. All the way back to the house I thought about the difference between the person up there on the screen and the one I knew at home."
You just made me realize that for the same reason people watch mukbang videos to slate food lust, kids watch other kids playing with toys and getting alot of family attention, etc. because they may not get that themselves. It's such a weird thing to think about, but that's got to be what's happening. One of my nephews LOVED hobby kids so much, he would watch them constantly. It's essentially just a few kids who get new toys and get to play with them. Until now, I didn't really get why he was so drawn to it. It makes total sense.
My son is 6. People say he is gorgeous and should be on SoMe - no he shouldn't. He shouldn't even do modelling. There's not 1 public picture of him. Just imagine him being 15, having pictures, let alone videos, of him as a 6 year old being publicly available......Some people are out of their minds.

can't imagine the actual trauma you grow up with when every time you need to open up, confess, get upset/cry to your parents, their first reaction is to grab a camera and shamelessly record you without hiding it while you desperately seek actual parenting

I can't get that clip out of my head of the mother and son inside their car at the vets that you shared, where she was asking him to cry for the camera over their dog.
He legit just wanted a sincere cuddle from his mum and she was just asking him to look sad. The real gut punch was his response of "I am sad, I am crying" or words to that effect.
It was months ago, and as a father it has stuck with me. How many more moments like that happen in these vlog houses? Makes me shudder man...

This reminds me of one time when my older sister used to watch a family vlog channel. Once one of their kids got sick during a family vacation and the next upload apparently people called the hotel they were staying at and were asking if the kid was okay.
For the adults who have this attachment to family channels, it feels very “One Hour Photo” like. “One Hour Photo” is a movie with Robin Williams playing a photo development technician at a store who gets obsessed with one of the families that gets their photos developed there because he’s lonely, so he forms this parasocial relationship with them and feels like he’s a part of their lives and imagines he’s a part of the memories in the photos they take. As for the kids of the family vlog channels, I can’t imagine the level of paranoia that would come from being constantly seen by millions regularly. Feeling like you have to be “palatable” and socially perform, becoming too closed off to enforce boundaries you never had, becoming too open because you’re used to the scrutiny and display, etc. it’s overall a destructive thing for everyone
This is a criminally underrated comment right now. Very astute
The only thing I knew about this movie was the Evangelion reference
Knowing evil family channels like these exist and continue to make a killing on their children's suffering is certainly one more out of countless fucked up things on this earth that make me feel like the eye nightmare scene in that movie.
Edit: Hell, this thread got me watching One Hour Photo again... and the dialogue scene of Sy at the end not only heavily touches upon traumatized children's need for parasocial interaction, but also _horrendously predicts_ the difficult adult life dealing with said trauma that the children of these family channels will have to face in the future: czcams.com/video/OdU3vEh3qfs/video.html *_(obvious spoilers for those who haven't watched the movie)_*
Criminally underrated comment. Criminally underrated movie.
Yes, omg! I love that movie.

Charlie hit the nail on the head, when I was a young lad I was a frequent watcher of the Shaytards channel for the exact reasons he described. It was so great to see a family that seemed so happy despite not having much. Family vlog channels were always going to end up like this, but it still makes me sad. The world is fucked.

When I was a child I used to watch family vlogs because I was in an abusive family and also in solitary confinement in an institution every day for six years, (no I didn't watch while in solitary that's not how it works) and watching these families helped me pretend I had a loving and caring functional family.
It’s not even just family’s either, it’s couples as well. I remember seeing a tiktok of this woman filming her husband who was crying outside of the house with the caption “I’ve never seen him cry before, this is so sad”. Clearly the guy went outside and cried to avoid shame, and then she films him and puts him on the fucking internet for views.
imagine posting your husband crying and not going to comfort him wtf

The only way to get red it of it is to manually delete it (and have access to it) but the scrappers who already processed it have won.
If you are really scared, foil hat andy, you could always make new accounts with the same name and same past but with new present. Lie about your eduction, relationship, current country/city, join groups you don't care about, etc... That way scrappers who already have processed your original account will find one of those fake accounts, get confused about who is he real you and update their database with fake data.
@@Lucas-Nunes But you won't be able to escape Facebook itself using this method. Facebook are able to track people who don't even own Facebook accounts. They use what are known are "Graph Based Algorithms" to deduct related internet users that have never interacted with each others. It's kinda crazy when you hear it but it's a very common practice as well.
The saddest part is that there is a demand for such vlogs. There are a ton of creeps who are watching those videos, following the lives of other families/ children.
And while there will be demand, there will be supply.
Sounds like TLC reality TV.
@Naura Anisaha This one's going in the books

Most of the audience are really young kids.
Imagine your whole childhood being broadcasted on the Internet.
Having family constantly monitoring you growing up is already a lot. I can’t imagine adding strangers into that mix
Family vlog channels appeal to the people who feel insecure about their own families, they want to rise up to the standards of the “dream” family when in reality that family is miserable
