To beryllium blunt, 8-year-olds are mostly excessively young to usage YouTube unsupervised, and surely excessively young to beryllium contented creators. There are information concerns. And algorithms tin easy prey upon children that age.
However, you’re ne'er excessively young to cement your brand. Claiming usernames for a kid that they tin usage arsenic a teen and big is simply a sensible practice. However, successful Saint’s case, determination was intelligibly much to it than that. No harm done, though, right?
Wrong, actually. In a YouTube shorts cartoon that Saint West shared, a quality declared that helium had “stepped successful s–t” and lifted his boot.
The adjacent ocular shows a representation of Vice President Kamala Harris. The accusation is that she is excrement, oregon has a akin value.
That is reasonably disgusting. It is simply a bizarre governmental connection from an 8-year-old. And the content, adjacent if it were much tasteful, is simply excessively crass to beryllium age-appropriate for a young kid similar Saint.

It is mean for 8-year-olds to archetypal beryllium learning astir politics. At 8, it is mostly age-appropriate for children to larn basics astir governmental parties, the past of voting rings, and more.

Aside from the evident — seeing that her lad was misusing his YouTube relationship and possibly nether the power of 1 oregon much toxic contented creators — Kim Kardashian besides had a “contract” with Saint. She said arsenic overmuch successful September, erstwhile she announced Saint’s YouTube transmission and asked followers to “please subscribe.”
Though specified a declaration is not legally binding, Saint agreed to travel his mother’s rules. Among them, helium needed support to stock videos.
Obviously, determination are instances wherever restricting societal media takes spot successful abusive households — cutting disconnected radical from friends, preventing radical from calling for help. However, 8-year-olds genuinely bash not beryllium connected YouTube without cautious supervision.
Perhaps, erstwhile Saint demonstrates that helium tin rein successful his impulses and travel his mother’s guidelines, helium tin go a Roblox influencer oregon immoderate idiosyncratic calved successful 2015 wants to do.
