Also, a way in which adults can 'pay' kids to perform for them online. Whole thing blows my mind and - yes - has passed most adults by as a potential risk to their child's online safety.

Yikes. Also, experience suggests an app based on 'what people will do for likes/money' is going to go dark(er) pretty fast.
