It seems like I’m always hearing about family vloggers getting put away for child abuse. I’m not into family vlogging, so maybe I’m wrong, but people always make it sound like these two channels were popular.
But then they go on to describe their videos, and it’s always parents doing insane shit to make the kids cry on purpose, or announcing on camera that they’re withholding necessities from the kids or something. I’ve never heard anyone say they like these videos, and I can’t imagine why they would, so then how were they supposedly popular?
Never heard of ether of them.
Be glad. I sadly have heard of them and know what abuse the kids went through (especially 8Passengers/Ruby Franke, but DaddyOFive is very bad too)
I wonder if the video essayists exaggerate how popular the channels were before becoming controversial, because you’re not missing much.
DaddyOFive pretty much constantly screamed at his kids and made them cry for views, and while the worst of 8 Passengers happened off-camera, in the videos they still openly talked about shit like taking their teenage son’s bed away.
Even setting aside the justified outrage, I can’t imagine who enjoys it. It’s just unpleasant and sad.
