Even though 'vlogging' has become a popular career path for many people, it does not mean we should overlook the dangers and red flags this so-called profession poses. Filming your life does not permit you to do whatever you want, and becoming 'internet famous' has many cons alongside the pros, so this career might not actually be as glamorous as it might appear.

Parents who decide to share their kids' entire lives on the internet, should definitely not be allowed or accepted, especially when the kids are too young to say no. I find it disturbing when families become downright commercial and advertise their everyday lives like a TV show. I do not need to know what their kids had for dinner, nor do I need to see a day in their life. Not everything needs to be filmed, and making money out of your kids that way just seems wrong.

The woman who wrote this Reddit story would agree with these statements, as she and her siblings all cut off contact with their parents for making them into a 'vlog family'. They all resent their parents for filming their entire childhood and claim that this lifestyle has caused a lot of problems for them as kids and as adults.
