I don't watch Jenna that much anymore but I did watch the videos when she first rescued her Greyhound. She shared so much factual and research based information about how to safely integrate an animal into your home and best protect the well being of the people, the new animal, and the animals already in your home. She's not perfect. But she has consistently shown that she prioritizes the health and well-being of animals, so yay Jenna!

@@beautywearsboots6458 I think even if you could make the argument about Jenna's use of her dogs being "problematic", she sometimes uses her massive platform to shine a light on what it's like to rescue a greyhound (and also how exploitative greyhound racing and blood donation are) or how to take criticism well and care for pets better. She has the reach that an average educational pet channel couldn't even dream of.

Mariya Kuyan I used to give Shay a pass because he was so honest about most things, including his motives and life philosophies and beliefs, and he, for me, was the main reason I watched his channels. He was once so inspiring. He’d regularly have entire vlogs without the kids (especially in those first 2 years of the Shaytards channel, but even several after like when he traveled for work), and those were fan favorites. He was the draw. I think he didn’t actually need to feature the kids for the channel to thrive, they just happened to be there and be a natural part of his life, so his including them was very organic as opposed to exploitive. As I recall, he didn’t even originally intend to be a “family” vlogger but meant for the Shaytards channel to be more candid and less scripted and to serve as a channel to document his weight loss journey as he exited his 20s. Then he ended up becoming the first proper KZread family vlogger just kind of by accident. Not sure how I feel about him today. Part of me sees nothing wrong with genuine and honest-seeming people like Shay or Whitney (of DearNaptural85) stumbling into family vlogging, as they both did somewhat serendipitously, and sharing human moments involving their kids with us fellow humans. And perhaps I’m biased, as she is about Jenna, but I do view them differently than other family vlogging channels. Most others that followed Shay seemed more... fake, and kid-forward, and exploitive, and money/fame-hungry, like the Nive Nulls and Bratayley, and The Prince Family, and The Ace Family did/do. But still, if like, as adults, Sontard/Gavin or even Olivia (Whitney’s kid) ever like, got on NPR and shared how much they actually regretted and hated and resented being in their parents’ vlogs, I would still totally side with them despite how much I watched and once liked Shay and still like Whitney. I’ve even been lowkey hoping for like half a decade now for one of the kids from the exploitive channels (like Audri of the Nive Nulls) to hurry up growing up and teach all the scumbag family vloggers a lesson by setting a precedent and suing the shit out of her parents because it’s the only way they’ll learn to view their kids as humans deserving of autonomy and privacy. And in the case of Audri specifically, there were literally several moments where she told her dad, Austin, explicitly to stop filming her, so he lied and told her the camera was off or said he would turn it off but instead hid it and filmed her secretly. So gross. He was a real user and fame and money chaser down to how he harassed the Shaytards for years trying to get into their circle. The tiny tiny teeny weeny handful of honest vloggers like Whitney and Shay, flawed as he is, just have a different (read: contrived, dishonest, and greedy) vibe than most others who expressly decided to specifically become _family_ vloggers. It should be illegal to film kids for online consumption more that a cumulative 4 minutes a month or something.

If we don’t even yet fully understand the potential consequences, how can a child either? How can they make that decision for themselves and understand the consequences when none of us can fully know the consequences yet?

These are valid concerns but it doesn't end there, unfortunately. Consider those who grew up as "child stars" _with legal restrictions on their labour etc_ and how many of them suffer psychologically in adulthood - then imagine the level of exposure essentially multiplied by about a hundred. Sure, KZread probably won't exist as a platform forever - but there are already forums out there discussing the absolute minutiae of many KZreadrs' existences. These run the full gamut from Stan forums to allegedly "stalkerish" forums, so these kids - who could never possibly have even understood the concept of consenting to being filmed in all sorts of situations - will have this footage out there forever for others to dissect & potentially obsess over. I'm not so sure that any amount of money is worth that kind of life, generally speaking.

I wanted to get this off my chest for months, so I'mma just do it here. I grew up (mostly my teen years though) in a very abusive home. Emotional, psychological, physical and financial, it was all there. Something I completely repressed over the years but remembered again later was that the abusive figure would often talk about putting our family up on youtube. Because they didn't see the abuse. They thought that both their daughters crying every day, fearing of the parents , being punished for mental health problems or just slight hints of crankiness (again, a toddler and a teen, well behaved and all) and so, so much more other shit...yeah they would always be like 'Oh my god, we're such a crazy and fun family, people would pay fortunes to be able to watch our lives'. Genuinely thinking of profiting from the abuse. My family would eventually be almost the same as the Daddy O' Five case (which i can't even look at because it sets off a whole episode for me). It's not as relevant to the video. But I feel so much better now that I've said it. I was almost there. I almost had the abuse that happened to me and my sister up on youtube for everybody to see.

The one thing I’m thinking about is SBSK (Special Books by Special Kids) and how they’re being effected. They’re a channel dedicated to talking about people with disabilities (of any and all kind) and/or mental illnesses and they use their platform to raise awareness. They’re being effected by these new family guidelines because of whatever reason (I think it’s that there might be predators or something, which is ridiculous because a good portion of the content is about adults, some is about kids; But the point is to talk about disabilities/mental illnesses and remove the stigma around them). The people who run the channel have good intentions and they seem very passionate about their mission. They’ve made a video, talking about the issue (I wish I could remember the name of the video, but regardless). Please check out their channel (not sponsored), I really like the channel and what it stands for.

You’re so right. Being a child ACTOR is thankfully more regulated than it has ever been even though there is still exploitation in certain areas of the entertainment industry but the children of big budget films that are going to be viewed by millions have management, a guardian on set at all times, a tutor, hours are limited as a child can’t work over 10 hours a day I think? And most importantly those kids are passionate about acting and naturally enjoy being in front of a camera portraying a CHARACTER. That’s where family vlogging especially daily channels bother me, the kids didn’t choose to be filmed since the moment they were born. How many hours a day do they have a camera on them? Subconsciously they are always going to have that instinct to “perform” when a camera is on them. Might as well sign them up to an agency lol.

She told me once that she's destined to never have kids of her own, so she loves seeing happy families. It was so sad, and I'll never forget that.

SO boring lol. Ellen Fisher has at least 2 videos on her channel that are just her sons. Who wants to watch videos of some stranger children? And apparently one of them was a sponsored video, which is just all around tacky & inappropriate.

I’m so glad someone is talking about this. THANK YOU SWAYZE for being the sanity that the internet needs.

On pet vlogging, there's an awesome channel called Kitten Academy. They're a couple living somewhere in the US who foster kittens and their mommies. The cats come from animal shelters in their area. Through their channel they find homes for the kittens and their mommies. I doubt there's anything fishy going on because they're just streaming 24/7, there's no performing involved in this. whenever I have a bad day I just watch some kittens being kittens on this channel.

I watch a few channels that are more "family life" vs child focused. It gives me recipes, cleaning tips, and the occasional cute child clip. I also watched plenty of pregnancy update videos while I was pregnant so I could compare. Some vloggers are obviously shoving the camera in their child's face and don't care what they capture or how it affects them.

Wow I've felt this way about 'child stars' for so long.. like 2 year olds who model, do pageants or act. They aren't old enough to truly understand what they're doing and therefore aren't really consenting. I can't help but feel uncomfortable and question the parents morals

Modeling and acting are different, there are many regulations involved. Time on set is limited, they're taken care of etc. Pageants is pure exploitation and it's disturbing (the sexualization and make the kid look like a little adult, with fake teeth..). Anyways. Modeling (which is basically silent acting) and acting are not as problematic, as Swayze said, the kids can easily be dis-associated from their work. On set, they're playing a character and that's what the public sees. At home, they can be themselves and that stays private.

@@evab.6240 Pageants should be banned. Fucking banned. Even when it comes to children, it's so sexualized, yet the parents say that people who say it's sexualized are the perverts. When you're dressing kids up in outfits meant to make toddlers look like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman (a movie I love, but the point is the character is a prostitute, which means sex is a huge part of the character), don't tell me there's no intent of sexualizing children. Since pageants won't be banned, at the least there need to be strict limits on how many a child can do in a month. Some kids are doing multiple pageants in a week.

I 100% agree. It's fine to take photos and videos, of course. But keep them for yourself. Show them to family in person. Make vlog-style videos only you and your partner watch (you know, those things called "home videos"). Don't upload. Don't create profiles for your kids and tag them. Let them have it when they're 18. And let them do with it what they want.

Oh man i remember watching okbaby once (i’ve since then realised how messed up family channels are and stopped) and remember their eldest kid , like 2 years old at the time, getting super upset when he had the camera shoved in his face and they were saying how he’s been cranky lately because he doesn’t like bwing filmed or have the camera pointing at him. And they kept doing it, obviously. It’s so, so sad...

One family channel I used to watch had four girls. Instead of buying these kids clothes in their size all four children have to wear the same size. When asked about this the mom who is entirely supported by marketing her kids said "We'll do what's easier for us". That hits the nail on the head - why work when vlogging is easier? Why protect their privacy when this is easier?

Louise Pentland was a person I used to watch quite a bit. I respect that she stopped showing Darcy very much once she grew up and is starting to develop her own personality.

THANK YOU ! People always call me a hater for saying I’m uncomfortable with family vlogging like the ace family

I love this video!! ❤️ When Jenna adopted Bunny they gave her space while she adjusted to her new home. They respected her privacy by not putting a camera in front of her when she arrived.

I love how well thought-out these videos are. You are always anticipating the feedback and taking seriously any criticism you might get. It's really satisfying to watch someone lay out their thoughts in such a thorough way :)

I‘m also sure Jenna has a trust fund for them, for when they are adults and want to move out and get a job.

I agree with much of what you said. I want to give a different perspective on this though: I am a LGBTQ teen, and seeing family vlogs of same-sex couples is so refreshing and hope giving to me.

There are probably good ways to produce family content that is respectful to both the audience and the children. The problem isn't family content or videos with kids in them as a whole. I think the main gripe about this kind of genre, is that some people make their children the center of their channel, and if that channel blows up, the child is now the main(or only) source of income for the family. That is a lot of pressure, and kids are not stupid. They understand full well that if they take their parents up on the usual insisting that "Oh, this is entirely -insert child's name-'s own choice, if they didn't like doing this we'd stop in a heartbeat!", their family will suffer financially for it. At that point it's no longer truly a choice for the children, since it's not "just for fun" anymore. It's the entire family's livelihood.

The videos that upset me the most are the prank ones that involve kids (even if they are fake). It's seriously gross.

I cannot wait for these kids to grow up and realised that everything from the house to the designer clothes their parents have is down to them selling their childhood on youtube and sue the ass out of their parents.

Agree with 99% of this video. But 1 thing I totally disagree with is the breastfeeding comment at the end. That attitude and opinion is a major part of the problem with shaming breastfeeding families. You chose not to breastfeed, that has been your choice. You are fortunate to live in a country and income level where that choice is yours to make. Do what is right for your family. However breastfeeding is normal, natural and never something to be embarrassed about, period. Any anti breastfeeding comments are nothing but unhelpful.

My older brother and sister-in-law just had their first baby, and the first rule they set down was NO pictures or stories on social media. They said that the baby might be affected by stuff like that later, and it was their job as parents to protect their child from that. Its something I think all parents should consider

I had a stalker for sometime, that person didn't like me and tried to mess with my life. I don't even want to emagine what she could have done, how much she could have hurt me, if she had had a ton off videos documenting my childhood and showing lots of potential pressure points. Family vlogs are irresoponsible. What if some day someone wants to mess with your kid and you gave them all the infos they could ever need?

Thank you SO MUCH for doing this video and talking about this topic in general. I used to watch family vloggers, and your perspective on them totally changed how I look at these channels, and I'll never watch them again. It's so sad that there are so many families out there who think that they're doing the best thing for their kids, but in reality it is so harmful.

Tell me how you feel about Ryan's Toys Review. My brother and I feel kind of bad for Ryan because hes basically a child star, my little sister religiously watches his videos and sometimes I get how its enjoyable but at the same time Ryan is making millions.

I used to watch Kkandbabyj, but after a while I couldnt watch the videos without feeling bad for the kids or even embarrassed for watching them every day. It feels like I am doing something wrong (which is probably true). Nowadays I watch their content now and again kind of to 'check up' and it seems to just get worse. The kids are constantly asked to repeat certain things for the camera. the parents are desperate for validation from the kids like 'I love you's, hugs etc all for the camera it seems like (especially the mom). I just feel so bad for the children and it hurts that there no laws to better protect them. And all the parents do is buy their 5th car...

I think it’s really good that you’re putting these conversations out there for people to consider. No KZread content with kids has ever interested me, but I really agree with you. My family wasn’t very technologically adept so I wasn’t ever filmed for the public but I can’t tell you how much I would have hated it. My own mom has really bad boundary issues which have led to her telling many people very personal things about me, not only without my consent but also after asking her not to. And it really hurts. I do have that sort of relationship with my parents that you mention in the end of the video where I just don’t like telling them anything, and I don’t know if it can ever be repaired. I hope your video makes more people second guess supporting this sort of thing, and if any, their production of it.

I know this is about vlogging, but I used to follow a lot of “mommy bloggers” on IG because their content was beautiful and cozy and idealistic. I long ago stopped following those accounts, and now after watching this I wonder how many of those bloggers used the rewards system to get their child to pose, or how many of those bloggers’ content would suffer the moment they stopped chronicling the lives of their children, while advertising a product or two? I know that blogging for a lot of parents is a way to make extra income, but like Swayze said, the well-being of the child should be prioritized. And the points at the end of the video are a helpful guideline to keep into account while or if we continue to engage these family bloggers and vloggers. As of today, we are truly in a digital Wild West. Hopefully as time goes on, we’ll be able to better regulate children on social media as we do in mainstream media. Thought provoking video!

Your points about pets in this video are so true. I have 2 rabbits (who sadly don’t get along) and they each live in their own 4 foot by 4 foot pen, along with getting about 3-6 hours of outside-of-pen exercise time per day. It makes me SO ANGRY to see what pet stores sell as “rabbit cages,” often a 1 foot by 3 foot cage that a rabbit can barely turn around in. Don’t even get me started on what they pass as acceptable food and treats for rabbits. I know that’s not the main point of this video, but it makes me so sad to think of all the pets that live in misery every day, probably in many cases because a pet store told them/ sold them extremely incorrect information

I agree with your opinions on this. Especially since a lot of the youtubers advertise what city they live in. Potentially putting their child in danger from pedos and stuff, not saying that posting a pic on a public Facebook page wouldn’t do the same thing, but people should be a lot more careful with what they’re posting online, like sure money is great, you can work from home etc, but is it really worth the safety of your child?

Courtney Gough that’s always been my biggest concern with sharing pictures of children. Don’t get me wrong I post pictures of my child on Facebook and IG but BOTH profiles are private. The only people on there are those that I’ve approved and accepted. I have a public IG for posting vegan food pics and other things but I’ve never shared a photo of my child on there.

One channel I started watching a while back was this elementary school girl in Japan making videos about living in Japan with her dad , but over time it's shifted to be more the dad making mini documentaries about various aspects of living in Japan and the daughter isn't really in videos anyone. I like that as the kid decided she didn't want to make videos anymore the dad just pivoted the channel while still keeping to the original intent of the channel. And I started watching for the "living in Japan" part of the content, so I haven't stopped watching just because the kids has better things to do with her time now.

my parent only has just above 150 followers on instagram. still I feel uncomfortable knowing that 150 people saw my bad hair cuts, my emo phase, my NAME CHANGE, and more. I can’t even imagine how these kids are gonna feel in a couple of years when they realise that literally MILLIONS of people have seen them growing up. So weird and scary

You should make a video on Family Fizz. I’m kind of shocked you haven’t already unless you’ve never heard of them. They’re a couple from the UK that has 3 kids, soon to be 4 and they originally started off as a vegan channel but now they’re a family vlogging channel. It seems as though their diets are pretty good so maybe that’s why you wouldn’t make a video on them, but if you’re interested in making videos about why family vlogging isn’t good then their a family in the vegan community that you should look into. They talk about being vegan here and there but the exploitative nature of their content is something I’d be interested in here you talk about, and give your opinion on. Each one of their daughters, the youngest being like 18 months or so, has their own instagrams and even their own channels. Their eldest, who is 14 I think, recently uploaded a video involving the brand fashion nova and having her mother react inappropriate clothing. Her reaction is strange and I think the content is inappropriate for their daughters audience. Their middle child makes videos too on toy reviews and stuff like that that clearly her parents regulate. Their Instagrams, apart from the oldest, are run by the mother and are written as if the children are running them which I find a little creepy. Again, if you like to focus more on the diet side of things than I completely understand, however if you’ve made video talking about exploitation of children before and this is a family I never hear about even though they’re content, in my opinion, is very exploitative. I’d really love to hear your feedback and if/why you think that this isn’t how families should be represented.

Thank you for making this video. I agree that kids shouldn’t be the focus of these videos. I used to watch family vlogs a long time ago because I grew up in a single parent household and I guess I was living vicariously through that family. My child’s mother and I also didn’t last together so that probably influenced me as well. A few years ago a made the decision to limit the content that I share of my child for a few reasons. A lot of people who engage on social media can be weird and some of them really feel like they know you, which I don’t want for my child. I’ve had a video or 2 with her in the past, but deleted those videos a while ago. My child mentioned that she wanted to shoot a video with me, but I told her no and explained why I wouldn’t. She understood. Any video that I do regarding her is about parenting and I refuse to include her in those videos (ex: what a vegan father feeds his non vegan child...focused on the food). I would hate to grow up and have my life online and have a bunch of people feel like they know me, especially without consent. But even with consent, we change as we get older and we might regret saying yes to being online as older kids. Anyway, thank you again 👌🏾

This is the most honest and truthful point of view on this topic. Even the family bloggers who are “good people” don’t realize that they are exploiting their children. Especially in the mommy blogger world they all have the same narrative....that their KZread channels have given them the opportunity to stay home with their kids while making an income....so they admit that they would rather be making the money than just being with their kids in the moment instead of trying to get pictures of “this” for instagram or videos of “that” for their day in the life blog. It’s sad and their naivety will come back to bite them in the butt down the road. Especially sad for the kids who will be picked on because mom and dad put video of them potty training on the internet for millions to see.

A lot of people don’t like the ace family and other family channels. I hope they know that it will effect their children when they are older and people start recognizing them.

I wonder if these kids will ever talk about this when they get older. That's going to be interesting

Hey! Never been this early before - you rock!!! 💖

It is so amazing that you point out things you're biased on. Why can't other youtubers just say they have a bias. You can share a biased opinion, just let people know!

There are a lot of pet channels that exclusively focus on rescue and make it very clear, and I think are so important in addressing some rescue specific issues (health and behavioral) and then also exposing how disgusting purpose/accidental breeding is. Just thought I’d mention it! :)

When you do adopt a dog.. Please do research because many shelters are not fully honest about bite history.

There's no safe bet when getting a dog, regardless of where you get it, especially if you're adopting an adult dog. Often their history is mostly unknown, if they're abandoned, or come from some sort of mill operation. At that point you only have the evaluation of the shelter to go by. You can get a pretty good idea of what you're dealing with, but you still won't know how the dog will act in any given situation. I had an acquaintance that had two senior american staffordshire dogs, that had never bitten anyone or gotten into a fight, but one day when running around and playing in the woods they got into a doggy disagreement over a stick and it escalated into them almost killing eachother(and there's no safe way for one person to intervene). I sincerely doubt there's a lot of shelters trying to get dogs with a "bite history" adopted out there. There's severe limitations in space and funds in most shelters, and this sadly means that dogs that are more problematic and in need of an owner with a lot of knowledge and experience, are likely just going to be put to sleep. But by all means, if there's a shelter that has a reputation online of adopting out dogs with levels of aggression that the average person won't know how to deal with, look for another one. But again, no safe bets, and your safest bet certainly isn't to adopt from a shelter.

You could adopt a bunny....they’re vegan!!

I think you are 100% correct about this! Without even considering the psychological consequences I think it is downright dangerous. ANYONE can watch the video/post and find out pretty easily where the child lives or where they may be. Not only do some of these channels share where they live but have full shots of the outside of the house and local landmarks so it would be very easily for someone to find them. Just a couple of months ago Fits Shorie Eats removed all content with thier baby because they received kidnapping threats. It really is a matter of saftey! Kudos to you and your partner for taking the steps to prevent your children from being put at risk!

I really appreciate you talking about this topic. I never would have thought of these concerns, but you raise a lot of important issues. Thank you.
