[Vlogger Ruby Franke]

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, tbf raising kids unfortunately can become your entire personality for a few years.

And everyone saw it coming with Ruby. People like me who would never in a million years watch that kind of content saw clips going around years ago that highlighted her abuse. The only thing that’s really off about this case is that none of the reports over the years led to anything.

Yeah I just have a blanket distrust of anyone that shows their kids on-camera for, potentially, millions of people and deliberately markets that shit. Maybe they're not all horrible abusers, but they are shit parents who don't care about the safety or consent of their young children.

Parent, or 'mommy-vlogging', should be illegal because there's no way those kids really understand what's going on.

Seconded. I can excuse seeing a glimpse of a child in couple of videos, but deliberately using your children for content is abuse plain and simple. And it should be illegal

I've seen post from kids of these kind of family vloggers who have said that they've started living in their car or are trying to get away because of how they have no actual space at home without being used for content. It sounds so fucking awful - even more so in this secret.

There have been enough of them that I assume all of them are abusive until proven otherwise. Like rabid homophobic republicans - I'm convinced a good 98% of them are some level of queer and in the closet. No one is insistent on being seen a certain way unless they are very much Not That. (See also: "alpha" men)

I'm so baffled by how successful family vloggers are.
I understand it when it's a vlog who gives tips on child raising (budgeting, school lunch tips, how to not lose yourself in parenthood, how to deal with stress etc) but they're NEVER those kinds of vloggers!

I guess I can't fathom why people would be genuinely invested in other people's children. Especially when there are some kind of storylines that are definitely scripted by the parents instead of genuine moments. (They're also always badly acted and honestly dumb... I guess other children are their real target audience?)
I know it's a general human thing to be nosy to a point (otherwise gossip rags/pages wouldn't exist and famous people wouldn't have crazy fandoms) but I'd feel so creepy being obsessed with strangers' children who are often too young to really grasp what's going on?

But then I don't even like it when the artists I follow do stuff like "my child picked the colors".

I don't think the audience is children, I think it's... mothers pretty much like the vlogger, or mothers who aspire to be like her in some way - thin, conventionally attractive, big house, big family, religious, etc. Don't underestimate the icky appeal that conservative Christian content has for a certain segment of the population. There are people who watched Ruby Franke and nodded approvingly at her "family values" and "commitment to God" and "tough love" and all the other skeevy things that tend to be dogwhistle vocabulary for religious conservatism.
