EXPLOITING KIDS FOR YOUTUBE FAME IS NEVER COOL

A lot of people have this big hope of having a viral video. I just don't understand it. The reality is, most of them are not able to handle the level of negative attention that sort of thing brings. I've seen several people now get 10,000 views in a few days and end up quitting after a flood of comments not all being nice ones.

Today I saw a news story of a guy who got his pregnant girlfriend to fire a .50 Caliber handgun at him. See he thought the BOOK he was holding was going to stop the bullet. It did not and he was killed. All in the search for attention.

I have seen no end to the amount of people who will pimp out the kids for a popular YouTube channel. There is one I've stumbled across with either 5 or 7 very young girls in it. The video that came up in my recommends was them in baiting suits (2 piece) by a pool acting up. You can imagine some of the comments on this very viewed video.

Another video by an actual TV station had a seems to be 4 year old in very tight leggings with her legs held up crotch on to the camera as the thumbnail. Well there was little to the imagination in this shot to say the least and I literally dropped my phone when I saw this.

Today I just saw a video with a maybe 10 year old boy in tight underpants playing a game with a VR headset. Now first off by his delayed reaction I'm sure this is fake, but... Well the father comes up and seems to slap him in the balls with the palm of his hand.

Again I was sitting there with my mouth open wondering what kind of parent even publishes a video like this on YouTube? You know the wrong kind of people are going to click on it - yes I realize I clicked on it... the thing is I did not think it would actually show what I saw.

There was a well publicized indecent where a boy was abused very often on camera for the financial gain of the parents. The boy was literally beaten by his brothers and in one case the father tossed him into a book case and caused him to bleed. This alone should have gotten the boy taken away by CPS.

This all being said, I watch a couple of family vloggers who do it right. They don't exploit the children and if the kid does not want to be on camera that day, they are not shown. They tend to show more good than bad - as all channels do, but it's all real life.

They are careful to have the kids dressed when they show them for example. Yes some days there is a slip - but this is to be expected when you are showing real life. It is however never in a bad connotation or an exploitative manner. After all, a 2 year old just does not like pants I'm sorry to say.

In any event, I'll keep watching the responsible family vloggers and not the ones looking for fame at the expense of their kids.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
