A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn

In honor of her new book Like, Follow, Subscribe, Fortesa Latifi joins Gabe to talk about something Gabe hates: child influencers and family vlogging.
---
Reporter Fortesa Latifi joins Gabe to discuss the origins of mommy blogging and child influencers, what has come out since these children have grown up, and what these families are actually selling. Plus, the dangers and problems of selling exclusive content of your children, turning your home and their safe space into a "set," and strangers being a fan of your child. What laws can be put into place to protect the children in these online famous families?
