I’ve said it before, but at the risk of sounding boring, YouTube is full of this rubbish, you won’t believe it until you see it, it’s child exploitation in a big way

Me too. Children are often channelled into things their parents think they should or could be doing and I have no doubt that it's influenced by school-gate one upmanship and parental kudos. Truly horrible.

Just seen an item about this on ITV and I m truly horrified
www.intellectualtakeout.org/article/rise-kidfluencers-and-sharenting-cause-concern

A few weeks ago a man came in the charity shop and asked us if we would display a poster advertising his daughters’ (about 7 or 8 year old) youtube ‘ business’ of promoting toys she gets paid to try out and try to influence other kids to buy thankfully my manager refused politely but I m think this is AWFUL and I ve just watched on TV a woman who has now set up monthly ‘summer schools’ to train children and get them promotions

I m gobsmacked and horrified
