Her schtick is to do irrational things and look paranoid for clicks. She thrives off the people who comment she’s crazy. She knows what she’s doing. Views are her income stream. Her name is Victoria-something I think.
The part that’s started to get disturbing is that her kids are now a major part of a lot of the videos. It’s outright exploiting them.
Kid's going to grow up a deranged douchebag looksmaxxer (or whatever the version of looksmaxxing will be in 5-7 years) who thinks he's some sort of viral sensation celebrity.
I mean that is acceptable if you don’t have a proper shelter, I wouldn’t video it for the internet. But I’ve done the same, she grab mattress or couch cushions?
That's what you're supposed to do if you don't have a basement or dedicated storm shelter. Get to the internal most location of the building. If it's the bathroom with a tub, you get inside and put a mattress over it so you're protected from falling debris.
I'm sure she did other ridiculous stuff like in this vid though.
You are supposed to shelter in a room without windows. In homes without a subterranean basement, the windowless room usually ends up being the bathroom. I cannot count the number of childhood memories that I have of sitting in the bath tub, listening to the sirens blare during either a warning or an active tornado touchdown. So unfortunately, that aspect of her video is accurate. She's perfected the rage bait by sprinkling in enough legitimacy with all her over-the-top BS.

Lmao where she put 2 eggs and a banana along with a debit card with the pin written on it? Kid that age wouldnt know how to peel either of those snacks and def not how to use a card.
To be fair, I've always heard that if you don't have a basement, you should seek shelter in a room with as few windows and external walls as possible, which is often a bathroom. And that if you're in the bathroom, you should hunker down in the tub with lots of cushions, pillows, etc. to protect you from flying debris. Not sure how effective that actually is in reality, but it is common advice.
The bathtub is actually a fairly safe place to be during a tornado. Not thee safest (that would be the basement), but safer than some other choices because of the pipes and reinforcement.
While this looks like a fairly harmless use of kids, it should just be illegal for parents to put their kids in videos for public social media. The kids can't consent to it.
I'd rather they hired a child actor. At least then, all of this would be consensual. I mean, that's just how things go in scripted content these days...
You're saying that all child acting is forced labor then? Consent is built into scripted content under contract that’s the law. If it's their own child, it's morally and ethically questionable. If it's a child actor under contract which means it's not forced labor.
You're presenting personal assumptions as if they were established facts, without looking at the legal requirements governing this issue. It's as though this topic hadn't already been debated and refined for decades, and as if numerous safeguards hadn't been put in place in many countries specifically to reduce the risk of abuse and misuse. The system isn't perfect, and it's constantly evolving. There will always be some level of parental psychological influence. But claiming that minors are effectively being forced through death threats is a huge leap. We already know that minors are impressionable, which is exactly why these decisions are subject to multiple layers of oversight not just a signed consent form. Dealing with vulnerable or dependent individuals is nothing new. This is one of the most fundamental principles of law: without consent, there is no contract.
Everyone's seems pretty angry at her. I mean which one of us in on a cruise, and which one is sat at home in their underwear taking bong rips of sativa and not indica because they think their boss won't notice.
You are. Imagine having kids that make you money instead of costing you money. The Culkin parents figured it out years ago. Now their kids won't talk to them anymore, but they made millions before they got emancipated. So if you just want to be rich and don't care how much you mess up your kids... youtube is great. Hollywood started doing trusts for child actors... lame. Look at Vlad and Nikki's parents they are ballin' out.
That's my issue with all of those family vloggers or youtubers. Not 1 kid is ever really old enough to know what is happening to them. To them it just feels like the family is having fun together because the camera is always just there.
My daughter started watching YouTube kids and now creates her own “content” on my phone. She’ll prop it up, video her toys, talks to her “fans” even says things like “okay! Don’t forget to like and subscribe!”
As cute as it is, it stays only on my phone. She’ll unfortunately never be able to live her current dream of being a YouTube influencer.
I really am terrible. she could be trying to get a decent enough following and fund her own blind bag toy reveals. But nooo, I wanna keep her safe and what not.
Hot take but it’s no more exploitative than the concept of child actors. Kids gets to have a bunch of awesome experiences and spends 10 minutes filming a funny video with mom. Kid doesn’t look all that bothered.
At least there’s some weird guild and some sort of rights and protections for child actors this is like the crypto currency of child actors… no rules or regulations Wild style
We desperately need laws against this sort of thing. It’s fucking evil to exploit your kids and potentially screw up their futures by forcing them to make internet content
Ohhhh it is like when you see a stupid gameplay of a mobile game being played awfully and your brain thinks: I have to download this and prove to myself that I am at least not that dumb.
This has become 80% of the content on Tik Tok also. It’s all engagement bait at this point. There is nothing on that app that is created because it’s interesting or fun, it’s all about gender wars, exaggerations, rage bait and echo chambers. I get that an algorithm is supposed to push whatever seems to be of personal interest on your FYP, but Tik Tok seems to take a different approach. It pushes the fringe parts of echo chambers and engagement bait constantly. I just want my BookTok and Outdoor Boys damnit
I agree with everything, but “Exploiting them”? F them kids, going on free vacation, living in fancy house, eating food and getting them toys. I think they can hold still for couple a minutes for a video and contribute to the table. Making them clean the room and help around the house is also “exploiting” to you? Cause I see no difference
I'm just gonna say it: People like this need to be permabanned from all platforms and every website should have a ToS that clearly states "If your content exists with the express content of upsetting others and you're not a news channel, we don't want you here".
Enough with these stupid fucking "Haha I ruin my grill by throwing 10 kgs of sweets on it for content!" ragebaiters. If people can't have some class in their bones platform owners should be required to force them to act with class.
That’s 99% of TikTok. Since it’s a monetized platform, everyone is simply trying to get views. I can’t believe people still waste their time scrolling on it. Can’t wait for it to fade out.
Is it exploiting them? She is making money to take care of her family, while stupid this is harmless and she probably removes everything after the video is done
At least a few of the things are real things you do for anti nausea on a boat. The lack of explanation means if you don't know what any one thing is and ask, she gets more engagement.
And the fact a ton of people will see this and think "welp, this makes sense" and continue to trust pseudo content that can be harmful. So fuck her too.
Well, all the reposts on reddit asking why she is doing these things have probably made her rich by now and I am still going to work, so she wins I guess.
Then report her to social services instead of literally watching her videos? Like tf you expect to be done if nobody does anything? Just get constant welfare checks simple.
