for many kids vloggers may be the only adults in their lives who talk to them about stuff they actually care about. the kids didn’t create the societal conditions that made that possible, and neither did the vloggers

op worrying about this is dumb obviously it's a way for kids to have fun performing the act of talking about themselves and things they like

honestly "playing house" and "taking care of baby" stuff is 10x weirder to me than pretending to be a youtuber but even then it's like, who cares, let the kid have fun it's probably empowering and adult-feeling

tons of people as adults have stories about things they're sad their parents refused to let them have or play with out of some domineering notion of how to raise them, but I can't think of anyone who wishes their parent didn't let them have something they liked

actually i wish my parents had somehow successfully forced me to watch less TV and no porn. they tried and failed and i think i’m worse off for it
