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.
