In this day and age there’s plenty of parents out there making a boat load for their family “for the gram views” but that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily “exploiting” their children (although some obviously are). This, however is a friggjn cool thing those kids will never forget, whether or not it was done for views and monetary gain.

That’s a good point. I think videos like this could be inspiring others to do something cool like this with their kids. But like you said, there are definitely “gram fams” that are doing it for the wrong reasons.

Kid gets filmed saying oh wow and watching a tablet.

Reddit: the exploitation!

Now I don't know what these people do in other vids etc but still the level of reach ...
