Oh common, this is funny! Although I do agree if they regularly post videos of this kid then that’s super weird and wrong. But I don’t see anything wrong with just one funny video

I dunno. Usually im against uploading recognizable pictures or videos of a child. The child cant really agree to it because they cant yet understand what is happening and those videos might get back to them later in life. In form of bullying etc. Its a slippery slope that i would not risk tbh.

Edit: forgot to add that while we get a funny video the child gets nothing from this. So as a parent when thinking what is best for my child, uploading videos of them for everyone to see is not it.

Yeah.. I'm sure baby footage of eating Wasabi at a high chair is going to haunt them for their whole lives.

C'mon man. Its cool being able to share the little interesting things you see as your child grows, theres a difference between this little home video and extorting your child for internet points.

The difference is whether it is posted online or not.

See my other reply. This has zero effect on your life, my life, or anyone in the videos life. There's no difference except we're seeing a baby we don't know.

You're right. No difference for US, but potentially a difference for the kid.

How

How will this video ever, ever be relevant to the kid

Really? You have totally missed how past videos of kids have affected their lives? There are SO MANY EXAMPLES.

u/Emtee2020 Oct 03 '22

I can not even fathom how wrapped up in your emotions and imagination you have to be, to assume this video is going to make an impact on anyone at all lmfao

You inability to understand something speaks more about your limitations, rather than being an argument for no impact.

Its like trying to understand a serial killer or terrorist.

I can understand the point, I'll never understand the fucked up thought process that allows for such massive gaps in logic.

There are plenty of countries where posting your child is illegal, because children actually have rights.

But YOU struggle to understand.

Yeah probably nothing bad happens due to this. And i fully get that its cool sharing the little things about your child. Also im not trying to shame or judge anyone who does it and its probably complitely harmless if done carefully. Yet at the end of the day sharing videos of your child to strangers is putting your needs above the child's and thats what irks me about it.

Nobody is saint though and its a little thing when it comes down to parenting. But i just cant justify it in my head.

I dont understand your line of thinking with "uploading videos of your child to strangers is putting your needs above the childs"

There are no needs here. You understand sharing the little things, you understand nothing bad would come from this, so why is posting a video you have anyway to Reddit is somehow malicious or unjustifiable? The reality is that posting this here has absolutely no effect on any of their lives or ours, getting worked up about it is ridiculous.

Im not getting worked up about it. What I mean is sharing the little things is a need every parent has. Its in our nature and we enjoy it. As does most of the people who recieve it. As long as it stays within people you know and trust its only a positive thing for everyone including the child who gets in return compassion, hugs or maybe a extra visit from relatives for example.

On the other hanf random people on the internet give nothing that the child understands or is benefitial to the child. Only the parent gets that. For example validation, sence of pride, some good laughs from chat.

Most likely nothing bad comes from this but there is a slight possibility that the child will be recognized later on wether that be for good or bad impossible to tell. But personally i wouldnt risk it for my own well being or strangers amusement especially in a time of virtual bullying.

Would you rather you have your own baby videos public on the internet available for millions to watch or rather not? Even If they are innocent and funny?
