    There’s a part in the article taking about “family vloggers” in general , who title videos shit like “shopping for her first bra!”/“my first shave!” featuring their preteen daughters and that’s just so fucking grotesque. These kids are gonna need so much therapy when they grow up.

    Edit: Here’s the quote:

    In marketing their videos, the Riches were perhaps simply chasing the same formula other family vloggers were exploiting. Ruby and Kevin Franke, considered in the top tier of family vloggers with 2.44 million subscribers to their channel, 8 Passengers, earned almost 2 million views on a video titled “My First Shave,” which includes an image of their tween daughter on the edge of a bathtub with shaving cream on her bare legs; a video of their son named “Officially Hit PUBERTY,” with a description advertising “voice cracking and sprouting,” has almost 3 million views. (According to YouTube, the videos do not violate the company’s community guidelines.)
