Re: Pimping Your Kids
Yeah. I know they are vloggers but it's a bit much that Julianna has been filmed everyday of her life. I just wonder how that will play out when she goes to school and there isn't a camera.

Re: Pimping Your Kids
1.) You should need to be at least 6 yo to be including in videos vlogging or otherwise if your parent's are making money off youtube. As this is an appropriate age to say you want to be on camera or not and know the situation. Since they are being paid it has reached a wide threshold of viewer ship.
2.) Child labor laws should apply to any vlogger or said youtuber who is making money.
3.) The child should also be compensated in the form of monetary value at the going rate.
4.) Or here is one for size youtube shouldn't pay families for vlogging content. Even realty tv has breaks! These kids are filmed every day! It really is fundamentally sad. It feels I am looking at a zoo creature in it's habitat, and the children preform for there handlers.
I don't worry to much. The life expectancy of a vlogger can't be too long, and then poof. Then they most likely won't have a job making nearly as much OR any skills or job exp. besides "youtube".

Re: Pimping Your Kids
I remember a while back, someone had mentioned about Jon and Kate plus 8. From that experience, I can totally see it happening to Juliana.Trl wrote:Yeah.

The twins have some social issues. One of them got kicked out (I THINK!) out of school because of her behaviour. Where as the octuplets had a hard time when the camera was gone. Kate has even mentioned it in the season when it was just her and the kids.
Juliana will get very confused when the camera is not around her when she goes to school. I can see her having the 'benji mentality' where it is all about me. Because ... that is what she gets most of the time. They're not even teaching her to behave properly most of the time.

Pimping Your Kids
IMO the kids are being used for the benefit of the parents without their consent. Does that fit the definition of exploitation? Their child hoods are being "sold" for views = $$$. You see effects in the short term so to me it's worrisome for long term. Effects like BENJi interacting with juli for the Instagram shot then back to melody. Juli knows daddy is just a toy. He's not comfort or anything. Juli snubs the camera already. Her parents relationship with each other and arguing because of the camera ( you leave out my cooking) causes stress in the family that kids can sense.
The camera is not a neutral member of the family documenting their lives. It is now the driving force in a lot of what they do. It is an active part of the family since it's their livelihood.
Etc etc

Re: Pimping Your Kids
Julianna and modeling. Now is it considered pimping? Or this is still a hobby? She loves it?
