Kids and Youtube

I know one thing, I certainly would not post links to my sons youtube channel on a forum that can be seen by god knows who. Getting videos out or not this is a sick world we live in, especially at that age. But hey just my opinion.

Fair enough.... So i assume that you'll be banning them from all social media until they're 18? I get your sentiment, but surely its beneificial to guide/talk/manage them through the inevitable "sick world" they're going to face... So if I went on yours or your wifes facebook profile there wouldn't be a video or any pictures of your son no?

She's playing a game, with a small video window, the sicko's would have to have an IQ of 1 if they honestly thing an 8 year old could have set the channel up the way it has.... Dad's obviously watching!

Think the biggest problem these days is parents denial and attempt to hide them from the big bad world..... She's on youtube most days watching other kids play, reads the comments etc! I think this is both a life lesson under guidance and a creative way to express herself! Girl power and all that !
 
No m8, deleted facebook years ago as did the missus :) do people still use facebook. My 15 year old uses group chat with friends now on whatsapp or imessage. Seems facebook is finally coming to the end of its life span with the new generation. Thank god.

Problem with youtube m8 is this:

"View your list of public subscribers. Go to your Subscribers List by clicking Creator Studio > Community > Subscribers. You cansee your total number of subscribers at the top of the page. The list shows only subscribers who have chosen to share their subscriptions publicly."

Good luck parenting that.

I get your point about kids watching other kids videos etc, thing is I would rather they were watching some kid play a game then gid knows who watching them.

Again just my own personal opinion on it. Good luck with it though.

As it stand i'm just seeing how it goes and what she things of it, if she enjoys it i'll contine it with her!

C'mon, facebook will never die haha, you're certainly in minority and expeted that reply haha! Great way to store videos and pictures in order of life... i got 1000s of videos/pics marked as "only me"... 2FA on, granted not super safe, but better than in the cloud
 
My two also mess about with youtube videos, funnily enough daughter is almost exactly the same, chattering away playing roblox.

What are you using to edit the videos?

Really easy to do mate!

* OBS - For recording.
* GIMP free photoshop
* https://www.canva.com/ to finish the thumbnail
* Windows movie maker for quick edits.... its not every good
 
It's a good thing, just keep an eye on her interactions online. You're right that you can't hide them from the internet.

Haha. i'll be honest i'm getting like proper freaked out by it... Thought it was a good idea etc. But what if it becomes fairly successful.... there some sickos out there.... plus i'm worried about the "welcome to the internet"... See how it goes! I've asked her about nasty comments, she says she'll just ignore them "because they're jelous they dont have youtubes channel" haha

You can censor out nasty type comments in the settings when you upload a video. My two started there youtube channel last year only got a few videos on there, just did a Fortnite one which was fun. Last weekend we did a Pieface Canon Challenge which was hilarious. Ended up with squirty cream all over the garden, and us. (careful with your comments now!) just need to find the time to edit it and upload it. Also doing our own music video parody been filming it for about a year now only got 50% of the material done need to try and get the rest done this year. Been really good and its got a Star Wars sketch thrown in for good measure. Green screen work is so easy now compared to when I used to do it on my Amiga A1200.
 
What happens in 4/5 years when kids at school find the videos she created from when she is 9? I can't see that having a good outcome.

If she is still doing videos in 4 or 5 years time why does it matter? Even if she isnt why does it matter?

So you're saying she should Pre-emptively deal with bullies by stopping what she loves doing now?

Great parenting tip.... i'll file it under "never use".

She's the same, her and her friends are looking to do a pie face "challenge" and upload it as a video (with their parents consent ofc)

No I’m not suggesting your daughter does not make videos for this reason, you are making assumptions. Maybe file making assumptions under "never use".

Kids are vicious at that age, girls especially. I’m sure you wouldn’t want your daughter to be subject to any abuse from a video that was made many years ago. Even the most innocent comment or video can resurface in the future. I very much hope there isn’t any negativity but it would be advisable to keep it in the back of your mind.

What assumptions have I made? :confused: The only assumption I can think of from my comment is that he "wouldn't want your daughter to be subject to any abuse". I stand by that assumption.

It's also fact teenage girls are bitchy and vicious.

What have I assumed? Seems like you need to leave it "bud".

At some point in her life she'll be subject to some kind of bullying..... She'll have control over what she does with the videos. If she came in today and ask for them to go away then i'd talk to her about why and remove them/channel. Easy. I will never teach her to give in to bullies, esspeically when its not even happened yet.
