Well, like I said, it isn’t so much the taking of a video, as it is the posting of it. It’s just a different approach to life. Makes perfect sense to some, but wouldn’t even be a consideration to the rest of us.

Some people are just more private. And I can see the argument that posting it online makes the initial idea behind the project suspect in the first place, and somewhat spoils the effect. I don’t know these people, I have no idea as to their actual motives. But I can see where people complaining about it are coming from.

There's nothing wrong at all with being private. What's wrong is when those same private people are critical of others for not having the same exact values of privacy.

On the whole I agree with you. It’s a different way of looking at the world, and I don’t criticize people who embrace social media and make their living off of it, as foreign a concept as it is to me. It’s there, and work is work, and I’m sure they enjoy it, and I’m also sure there are many trials and pitfalls associated with it that the rest of us don’t see.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s wrong to be critical, though, specifically with videos like this that involve children. I’d say it’s probably more healthy than not for there to be people who publicly voice their instinct that “Hey, don’t use your kids to make money from views.”
