Indeed it is … :open_mouth:

I agree with Rev Lynda Rose:

“Such narcissistic self-promotion already creates unhealthy expectations among teenagers. To encourage children as young as three to vlog is deeply concerning.”

Absolutley! I did wonder if it was pushy parenting, hoping their kid made it big so they could look after the parents and buy them houses…it isn’t unheard of y’know. :frowning_face:

I’m not sure what it means to be a vlogger. I’ve seen some YT videos of photographers filming themselves with a gopro taking serious pic with a proper camera. I don’t have a problem with that.

For a three year old, I can think of more useless and unsavoury activities.

Anyway, it’s lets play pretend.

Being a vlogger is filming yourself doing activities (or just chatting to camera about stuff) and sharing it on social media like Youtube etc. There are many kids making absolute fortunes by just playing with toys on camera.

This little guy has 33.5 million subscribers and is very very rich.

When I was that age … children should be seen and not heard

Please don’t bring back those days.

So I had toys like a spaceship, a farm tractor, a fire engine. I don’t think my parents were trying to tell me anything.
