Matthew and Ryan from TikTok (Daddies Overnight podcast) recently adopted a baby, and their comment sections are absolutely mental. Fans are demanding to see the child's face, asking for his name, and acting like they're owed something. They're not.

This parasocial relationship nonsense needs to stop. These creators don't owe you their child's identity just because you followed their adoption journey.

In this video, I'm breaking down why Matthew and Ryan are RIGHT to protect their son's privacy, the dangers of sharenting, and why family vloggers exploiting their kids online is getting out of hand. From celebrity culture to the disturbing reality of who's saving these videos, we need to talk about protecting children online.

Whether it's Matthew and Ryan's adoption story or other family vloggers monetising their kids, children deserve privacy and protection. Full stop.
