8 Passengers daughter Shari Franke shreds YouTube family vlogging [Video]

A former child YouTube star is speaking out on the dangers of family vlogging, saying there is “never a good reason for posting your children online for money or fame.” 

Shari Franke, whose life was broadcasted online through the family’s 8 Passengers YouTube channel spoke to the Utah House of Representatives about the “ethical and monetary issues that come from being a child influencer.” 

“When children become stars in their family’s online content, they become child influencers. It is more than just filming your family life and putting it online,” Franke said in her statement. “It is a full-time job, with employees, business credit cards, managers, and marketing strategies. The difference between family vlogging and a normal business, however, is that the employees are all children. Children, from before they are born to the day they turn 18, have become the stars of family businesses on YouTube, Instagram, and most other social media platforms.”
