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........ 🙄🙄

[@cesj1]

@@psomichelle2758 dislikes are what informs most viewers about the legitimacy or validity of a video. Removing it was a terrible choice on KZbin'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.

[@aelacross8015]

Thank youuuuuu 🙏🏻

[@kida5004]

@@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.

[@admiralcheesecake]

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 KZbin 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

While I agree, it's mostly little kids who watch those videos so they don't know any better.

[@myopinion69420]

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.

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

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.

[@beatotheelder6170]

[@livia1690]

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.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

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 KZbinrs on the list.

[@torih230]

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.

[@borxoii]

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

[@francesgold6649]

it's sooo sickening

[@skrimper]

Is that the new term for the mentally disabled or are you talking about something else

[@bassetts1899]

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.

[@Unstable23]

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.

[@Kitsuragi556]

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.

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.

[@WTFisHappeningToMe]

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.

[@the98thalien]

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.

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

[@IdkANiceName999]

A few years back I was exploited by people like crazy, not on youtube or instagram, but as in they didn't care about me because I am autistic. It was not the kids by the way, it was the people who where supposed to take care of me but got tired of me after 3 days, they put me on medication that resulted in a suicide attempt and did much more. These family channels remind me of that, constantly being exploited, an endless hell that scares me unlike anything. They'll go on to have traumas as adults like I ended up, there are people in prison who did less horrible things than these family channels and that is not an exaggeration. Thank you for reading.

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've been saying now for a while: I'm sure, in upcoming years, we will be introduced with new child protection laws that will target family vlog channels, instagram babies/kids that are being put on the spot light by the parents etc. Because I think already it's getting out of hand with all these mommy vloggers. I see Europe starting this movement first, but it would be awesome if it started in US, because then it would be easier and faster pass in other countries too.

[@StoicVeR]

The US, much like youtube, craves the big $$$$ and will work to allow parents or guardians of children to exploit their kids for adverts and notoriety. When it comes to these matters in the government and freedoms, it could be viewed as overstepping certain rights - such as the capacity to make an income.

@@StoicVeR Interesting...I could easily see that as the main argument, and it's a difficult one to address. I suppose there's a reasonable middle ground somewhere, where the law doesn't overstep it's bounds. To make matters worse, while these protective laws that involve labor and exploitation DO get written from time to time, we're a reactionary nation of laws. We'll need a rather large crisis or story before anyone even begins to considers this.
