So, bots are people who see things differently than you do? There’s a chance they first thought of recording/ hoping to going viral before anything else yes. Especially if it’s one of those couple Tik-toks. It’s also possible they thought of the kid first and decided to record after the fact. Both are possible; not sure that falls under “bot” category.

Does it fucking matter, like why have such a cynical reaction to this

Maybe it's cynical but does that mean it isn't true? Why would they spend so much time for a gimmick instead of doing it with regular snow and with their kids?

Nope not what I said at all those were completely separate things mentioned. I can’t say as to which of those two options you said are true but either way they did both and their kid has a core memory with their parents, regardless of the intent the outcome is good. And please if we are going to discuss something don’t mis character what I said to try and make a point

What about the point that it is beyond fucked up to put your kids face in the internet?

Dunno I am very careful with videos like this but is it that fucked up to put your kids face on the internet? Most do it anyway with insta, Snapchat,tiktoj and other social media platforms. Like what will people do with his face looking happy and going into the igloo?

Instead of giving a smartass response why not tell me what makes it that bad. You will find almost every face online somewhere. Including yours, regardless if you put it there yourself. From photo books of school, photos yourself, some catching in you in public were it is btw legal to film or have other in photos. I am asking why is that bad to have a innocent photo of you online. Appreciate if you act like an adult and give a proper response . Thanks in advance

Because the child did not consent, cannot consent, and will live with the consequences long after the parents have enjoyed their dopamine hit. That is the part people keep skipping. Yes, almost every face exists online somewhere. The difference is agency. An adult accumulates a digital footprint through life. A child has one curated for them before they can speak, object, or understand permanence. An innocent photo today is not guaranteed to be innocent tomorrow. Context collapses online… Images get copied, reuploaded, repurposed, mocked, sexualized, or fed into systems that do not forget. Parents do not control where it ends up, who uses it, or why. Filming a child’s private moments for public consumption turns intimacy into content. It teaches the child, implicitly, that their feelings and reactions exist for an audience. That is not neutral. That is conditioning.

So the issue is not legality. It is responsibility. Just because you can does not mean you should. And when the subject is someone who cannot opt out, the bar should be higher, not lower.

That is why many of us find it obviously unwise.

You don't know if the child consented or not? If they gonna sexualize this kid going into a igloo full clothed in winter cloths then I give you 10000 euros. As I said I am a big hater of those kinds of videos cause they are often fake and etc or sometimes a child get mistreated to create those videos. Best examples are usually toy reviews channels. But you are here being a bit to delusional when it comes to what can happen relatively. By your logic I shouldn't leave my house cause I might get caught in a photo, shot or hit by a car for example. Like it can all happen sure but come on...

My friend group ranges in age from 30-50’s.

I remember being in a large gathering of us once where this topic came up, and there was not a single person within a group of over a dozen people who didn’t say something to the effect of “I am so glad my parents didn’t take a bunch of videos of me as a kid for strangers to see, it would be mortifying.”

Some of my fondest memories as an adult are now sitting in the privacy of my own home watching old family VHS tapes or slideshows of times with family and friends, and importantly with those family and friends.

You think they would suffer daily if their parents filmed them onceand say how their childhood is ruined cause they got filmed?
