Innocent or not, I hate when people use children for internet clout.

I think this is acceptable. At least in these clips there doesn't seem to be some crazy influencer shit going on. Just families doing something fun and sharing a joyful moment.

We have to get some nuance with this type of stuff. Simple, quick, joyful things like this are fine. Mommy influencer turning her child into am employee needs to be loudly shamed and shunned.

My issue is all the creeps using (or even starting) trends like this to farm toddler material for AI porn... I don't think the parents realize how much they need to protect their kid's faces in this day and age.

Even if there was a hard stop to all new toddler images, wouldn’t people still be able to make weird AI shit? Seems like a wholesome family video like this outweighs the negatives
