That would be magnificent, especially if anything connected to him (name, channels, places he grew up/lives stuff like that) are changed) but all the details are the same (year of marriage, university degree, mad story from gap year or whatever) and wait and see how long it takes him to go "Oh wow, I did the same course at the same time" and "Weird, this guy started on KZbin when I did!" And then let's see if he twigs it's about him before the end of the script - because if he hasn't, he'll read that everything was based on him... Dave, Danny, Kevin any chance you could research and write this in time for him to read this on April 1st 2025?

[@thehomeschoolinglibrarian]

As a mom who has a small KZbin channel doing book reviews I specifically do them either when my child is asleep or not home because she can't consent to be on KZbin. Children are being used by their parents and having their actions and lives put online without their consent or without fully understanding how this could have long term effects on their lives. This goes the same for Reality tv.

[@DanielHughes-ec4vd]

agree even those challes where the mom or dad get the kid to help them prank one another

[@ChaseSchleich]

But.... money..... Yeah, most of the views come from creepy people, but.... money!

[@thehangmansdaughter1120]

It shouldn't be legal to subject your children to having their private moments viewed by the entire internet. I believe it's detrimental to their growing sense of self and their place in the world. Specific videos, where it relevant to have a child in the video is one thing, (I saw a video of a Nana telling a story to her grandchildren, and put it up for other kids), but broadcasting a child's life is something else.

[@maddiethomas5892]

Agreed. However we also have a small Channel doing music. We don't try to become successful and we ALL have to agree to record a song. It is up to us if we want to be on KZbin. I'm the youngest at 13. Do you think we shouldn't be on KZbin? Honest question. I want to know your opinion, please.

[@QBCPerdition]

​@maddiethomas5892 given how horrible social media has been proven to be for young people, not only shouldn't anyone under 18 be able to make content, they probably shouldn't be able to view it. And yes, I'm a hypocrite who lets my kids watch videos, but I restrict my youngest daughter and talk to my oldest about how fake everything is.

Sideshow guy here. I have been performing professionally for about 15 years. For those curious the trick that Kevin didn't go into detail on was performed by Matt "The Tube" Crowley. It involved pumping his stomach and then having someone drink it. I think when I saw it, another performer drank it, not an audience member, but its still as nasty as it sounds. The condom challenge is very stupid and shouldn't be taken lightly, how you learn sideshow acts is by finding a professional performer and bribing them, NOT by copying some kid on the internet. The act is a variation on Mental Flossing, which has been performed by sideshow acts far longer than the 1990s. And that act is based on a yogic cleansing ritual that has been around for hundreds (thousands?) of years. The danger is the real risk of not being able to retrieve the condom once it gets to your throat, this could easily cause someone to choke/suffocate. It also puts a lot of wear and tear on a very delicate part of the nasal cavity. I injured myself once doing a similar act and the result was a terrible nose bleed followed by non-stop coughing for about three days. The coughing was so bad that I couldn't sleep and so annoying to everyone around me that the woman I was dating at the time got fed up and stopped seeing me. So yeah.. wouldn't recommend this.. or any sideshow stunts for that matter.

A datapoint in the failure of Jackie Coogan's law is Wil Wheaton. His parents stole pretty much all the salary he earned as Wesley in ST:TNG. On reaching adulthood he had no money at all; the only way he kept his family solvent was through the residuals. Which were OK, but not much compared to how much he had earned while working on the show. When it comes to family vlogs, I think there are two types: Vlogs about someone's life that incidentally includes their family because, hey, it's their life and the family is around, and the abusive kind you're talking about here. A reasonably wholesome example of the former is Curiosity Incorporated, chronicling the days of a dealer in collectibles as he finds things to sell and... then sells them. It includes his family a lot because he works from home and often has his kids along on buying trips and so on, but it's his work that's the focus and not the kids.

29:00 The law in question is the California Child Actor's Bill, or the Jackie Coogan Law, established in California in 1939. "This law acts as a safeguard against the mismanagement of a child’s earnings by their parents or guardians. It is named after the famed child actor Jackie Coogan, who starred in Charlie Chaplin’s famed “The Kid” movie, and later in “Our Gang” and “The Little Rascals” series" "It required that a child actor's employer set aside 15% of the earnings in a trust (called a Coogan account) and specified the actor's schooling, work hours, and time off." -Wikipedia Coogan was one of the first stars to be heavily merchandised. In his adult life, Coogan went on to star as Uncle Fester in the mid-1960s TV show, The Addams Family. I'd recommend him for the BioGraphics channel, but you don't seem to be involved anymore.

But I also don't think Simon in the life streams even counts as such content. He's all over the place and halfway through the reddit post he already forgets and calls Indian merchants to get pricing infos in Zucks tiger shirt until he get's bored and remembers that Dave is waiting on call for 15h and reads half a paragraph of the script.

There are so many reasons not to watch most family channels. I watch some family blogs where the kids might be seen playing in the background or mentioned but their faces never appear because they’re not old enough to give consent. One trend in this trend that I loathe and despise and another driving reason behind needed more regulatory oversight for children in media are the children who aren’t consenting at all or are actively not consenting but still being put in footage. One YTer I know who used to read fan mail got so many fan mails from teenage girls, many too young to have any means of income, asking for advice on how to get their parent or older sibling (usually in a prank channel) to stop using them in their online content. Keep in mind, this problem predated the massive trend on TT and YT in the last 5-7 years. We’re talking OG mommybloggers… of the early 00s too… said YTer started sending sweatshirts that said “I do not consent to being filmed” so they could ruin footage. The idea was given by someone in the livestream who’d gotten the same thing for herself as soon as she could get a job at age 15. I have mad respect for the “how I handle X” or “day in the life” female vloggers who do it without including their kids. They may still talk about the importance of nap time or how they clean up the play space or handle mealtimes… but they don’t hardly ever show a child & if they do, its the back of a head. And for the few channels I watch, usually art channels, that sometimes include their kids… it’s done so only with consent of the child, no real names are used, & it’s always fun like “do you want to do art with daddy?” & then daddy might then make kiddo’s art come to life in 3D animation… or “do you want to help mommy pick what her next art project should be” and all you see are little toddler hands choosing between two choices… not so different from the bygone trend of “my pet picks my makeup/next read/next adventure”

I like watching channels that cover r/ videos and memes because I don't like using reddit and don't know how to find memes

[@lesliekilgore648]

Julian Vu! a shoutout to you! you LEGEND! that FullMetal Alchemist clip concerning the 'energetic oral sex' joke! i lost my $h!t with that one! i laughed so hard i had to pause the vid and get control of myself! THANK YOU! :D

[@jooleebilly]

I don't get the Condom Challenge. Back in my day, we did it with a cooked spaghetti string. That way it can be hanging out of your nose and mouth at the same time. "Flossing" if you will.

[@sadiejustin]

Three Skeletor's! Wonderful editing!

[@DoomsdaySignal]

A big target audience for those "voice reading Reddit posts" videos is people like me who work boring repetitive office jobs and need something, anything to listen to to keep us from going insane.

[@israelagalaba5493]

Gaaaaaawd. Thank goodness, i am finally able to comment agaiin 😃. My workplace has something in place with the wifi that doesnt allow or even show comments on youtube. Anyway, great vid, Simon n Kevin. You guys kill it all the time 👏 🔥 💯.

[@ThatWriterKevin]

Why thank you!

[@Barfly-fh9ig]

This was a highly favored video of mine. Love the editing and the dynamic between writer/speaker.

Sniper wolf has a career because she looks like Kia Malifa the corn star

[@calebbean1384]

Mmmmm corn

[@richardaubrecht2822]

But with even less personality.

[@themischief420]

she doesn't really look like her imo? but yea she has a career because she's pretty

[@kennethbontempo1031]

This was a great episode, loved all the joke thumbnails!

[@ace_r_ola]

Wait, no true crime and make up channels? Don’t get me wrong, I love true crime content as much as the next gal, but listening to a story about a serial killer brutally dismembering 85 victims while the person talking is contouring their face just feels icky and almost disrespectful 🤷🏼

[@imtheonlykit]

My mom worked in a hospital in the 80s and the ENT department had a board of things pulled from noses and throats. There was a dog chain.

[@rhov-anion]

All those thumbnails deserve a massive raise.

[@screwthisin]

From what i believe, not backed up by sources, reddit posts dont have copyrights.

[@Jaydieliza]

Creepypastas are awesome for falling asleep to, especially when you can’t afford audiobooks, I have adhd and need noise to fall asleep to

[@Gkeese]

This video actually had me rolling with laughter in my truck. I started tearing up I was laughing so hard.

[@ThatWriterKevin]

Glad you enjoyed! Please don't crash, unless it's into Jimmy Hoffa's tomb so we can finally all see where it is

[@MisakaMikotoDesu]

Kevin's knowledge of ancient 4chan memes makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

[@amazingspidermew]

The amount of Cell in this video is… Perfect

[@VulianJu]

Ok, as the person that actually PUT them there, this comment fucking wins. Well played.

[@MrOneofthousands1994]

Adding Yor into the tangent warning meme was genius.

[@RinkameWolfs]

As someone who had a story featured in a reddit reading channels video, a lot of the times they do ask for permission to use the stories. At least the one who featured one of my stories did. (I was in a video on the channel Hellfreezer about 2 or 3 years ago because of a story I posted on Tales From The Front Desk)

[@WelcomeApathy]

The editing in this video was superb!

[@jsnap1]

Also please keep up the Dragon Ball Z Abridged clips 😆

[@lilykep]

The only family type content I watch is a mom that gives parenting advice and does comedy shorts reenacting the things her toddlers do. Her teen is also in the content on occasion but only when she wants to be, the littles never show up in person because they are not old enough to consent to being online.

[@bekkimcgrath]

That sounds like momma cusses?

[@lilykep]

@bekkimcgrath correct

[@GrimGX]

All of the random thumbnails edited into this video had me in stitches.

[@CoughitsKath]

Simon you're having way to much fun with this one

[@raystephens9550]

This is much more fun Simon, than tales of the gross and dysfunctional, very criminal, casually. Cheers. PS It is not entirely true to the implication the following statement intended, but "You have a great face for radio." Your voice is never boring.

[@stephenhauke3132]

"Who was phone?" reference is to the best podcast: LPOTL!

[@ThatWriterKevin]

"Who was phone" was an early and terrible 4chan creepypasta that predates that podcast by 3 years

[@stephenhauke3132]

@ThatWriterKevin definitely, they were just reading creepy pasta bs

[@willisengelbrecht7731]

I absolutely loved the bin laden thumbnail 😂😂😂
