Hello everyone :)

I don't know if this is even a thing...but you know how there are influencers on YouTube for various topics (like beauty & make up)...is there a...

... YouTube influencer on the topic of parenting?
... Can anyone name me any (so I can check out)?

It's not for anything specific...but if I'm going to subscribe to an 'influencer...might as well be someone I can learn something from, right?

Don't do it. There are loads and they are toxic as fuck. Spend most of their time bitching at each other and spending their time designing ways to make you feel inadequate.

I think these 2 would be classed as an influencers?

(I can't say I watch them so have no clue if their videos are any good or not! I can recommend 'The Dad Lab' though for craft ideas)

It’s not compulsory.

Hasn't YouTube started to crack down on it though. Parenting/family 'content'. Basically just child labour.

Have they? No idea.

There is far worse they can and should be cracking down on.

"Influencer" is a contraction of "vacuous freeloading wanker".
