This is a new documentary on Netflix about the Youtube channel which featured Piper Rockelle and her friends. They interview the parents and kids on the channel about their experiences on the show and the abuse that went on behind the scenes. It is a good watch but some parts are a little disturbing.

I watched this today. Sickening and so sad. I can think of a couple kidfluencers that are current who have always worried me.

We have a thread for that. Hasn't been updated in a bit, though.

At least some of the parents of kid influencers give me the same vibes as an earlier documentary featuring sports obsessed parents and their children.

That documentary starred: A golf Nazi, a basketball rager, a slogan chanting football fanatic and... a tennis sociopath .

The plot: Shove your kids towards athletic success / "success". Then, vicariously live off them.

Here is one of the former members of Piper's squad reacting to the documentary.
