Stop recording your babies and then uploading them to internet. PERIOD.

Simple. I totally agree.

And possibly stop taking pictures of and recording strangers as well.

And pls don't record/photo them half naked. It's weird.

The only person who thinks videos of yout kid are cute is you.
MrZev
Ok... Does this include Pearl with Will Ferrell? He is doing that for fun and not money. Something silly with his kid. So depends I guess.

People don't realize the damage they are doing to their children's future when they fill their digital footprint with this crap. 1/2

Your kid is a human with autonomy, if you think you own them and can do what ever you want cause you birthed them you shouldn't have kids. -

One should think this is common sense.
Strangedays2026
I expect a lot of people start out using it to send videos to grandma, and then realized they can get other views.
Schlenda
Those Toddlers become people and those people should be able to decide themselves what info about them is made public.
hjf2011
children need to be kept in a dark room with absolutely no contact with anyone until they are 18 so they can decide anything for themselves.
Schlenda
No no, that's too much. Well, maybe not. Are you austrian?
hjf2011
I have an extremely obscure simpsons reference that applies.

Once the conscious Google AI has filed every human, only the not registered will be able fight back. We need those kids for the rebellion
melveys
I have 4 teens. They don’t care about the cute baby videos I posted over a decade ago. They 100% only care about what I post now.
Schlenda
That's good to know. I might forget that we are the old people and our concerns might be a bit detached from what matters to them
Velv3tThunder
It's definitely an iffy area. No one right answer.
Phayze87
No. Its not. If you catch a genuine moment and your friends and family say you should share it because its cute or w/e then fine. 1/2
Velv3tThunder
Thank you for your opinion, however not everyone shares it. Personally, I think scripting "scenes" for your kids is dumb. But if your kid1/
Velv3tThunder
does something funny, sure, share it. And maybe bring your kid up to be able to laugh at themselves and not take things so seriously
Phayze87
I agree with you but that's not the issue at hand. You're describing something completely different. OP is talking about exploiting minors.
Phayze87
But if you're literally staging and scripting scenes to try profit off your kid, you're a POS. Let kids be kids. They are not our tools.

Let's hear it for all the actually funny videos on AFHV that have lost to a video of a baby doing something all babies do all the time.

JanetSnakehole83
That drive me crazy when I watched it as a kid.

As soon as a baby video showed up me and my brother would be like "welp, show's over, there's the winner" and turn it off lol

Babies and weddings was a sure win

Here's a dog or cat pulling off something spectacular. Losing to a kid screaming ABC's.

Or a nut shot
ITellBadPuns
At the very least though, a nut shot would elicit a smirk and could actually be funny. I never laughed at a baby video ever.

That’s why I love Ridiculousness. No prizes, no submissions. Just people falling over. Nice and mindless.
themuffintreekills
Im glad you like it, but I hate that show with a fiery passion - the main host reminds me of every douchey rich kid from my junior high
POGassultraboot
Oh absolutely. He reminds me of the kids I knew in middle school. But my mom and I talk shit about the people in the videos. It’s fun.
CrossEyedPigeonToed
You should also watch Tosh.0. He helps with the talkin shit part
themuffintreekills
That does sound fun. It's on after the Simpsons and my mom and I very dramatically laugh and rush to change the channel.

Lol

Rob Dyrdek and the laughing dolphin beside him make me irrationally annoyed

He's just being honest. Men do this, especially young single men. Women also like to drink and ogle attractive men on TV too.

When my daughter was born no one in my family understood why I asked them not to post pictures of her on social media. smh

Good for you, we try and limit it as much as possible.

Several youtube channels focused on kid based content were found to be mentally and physically abusing their children.

And there is the emotional abuse.
acetothermus
Seems to go hand in hand with my theory that people are only having children these days because they want a fashion accessory.
PinkSmuggler
Interesting accessory
loki0486
Yeah there are people like this, but kinda of a broad generalization of a theory not very sound.
Schlenda
But there are better ways than make it public. Whatsapp?
LicensedAdHominem
Most seem to have children because it's expected. Even in some of the best cases there's planning and studying, yet no one asks "but why?"
thedudeman519
Tradition.

Between the internet spreading knowledge that Child Free is a legitimate choice and bad finances, population is dropping, there's hope.
loki0486
My why is because I have always wanted to be a Dad. A good one, who raises kids who are smarter, more caring, and better than I am.
MuffinStuffinPuffin
I had children because of tequila.
RavenousBugblatterBeast
So your children distill spirits for you? In that case I may have a few.
