After covering here on steemit about YouTube's problem with children content allowed on their kids app which is now coined elsagate
there is now another huge problem on YouTube and that stems around streaming and uploading content. Kids that are growing up now their idols are people like Rice Gum or Jenna Marbles
How these people are making their content is very simple with just a smartphone you can have a very simple and effective setup to gain followers. This then applied towards kids who are not tech savvy are getting exploited against the system.
With these kids wanting to become their idols they sit there on the streams doing everything between chores to gymnastics and within doing so you have older people coming in and trying to convince them that if they want to become huge and famous which they can give out all they have to do is get naked etc. And between moderation being low on YouTube another big problem is the cornering these people have. When I report them they dont get punished as well as these people can sit there and mass spam report the lives when they dont their way. The kids are then stuck either be blackmailed or have videos taken down for not agreeing to do so.
This is an hourly issue now on YouTube as this platform has turned into a hive of people who have no care and can coax these kids to make perverted content to then sell to various markets. I am making this as an awareness campaign as I am sick of YouTube not taking proper precautions of what goes on their platform.
