DSD (22) started posting makeup tutorials on youtube when she was 15, at first we made sure she had a fake name, didn't speak in the videos, had one white background in our house to use and gave away no personal info. We realised this was very unnecessary so slowly she gave her real name, gave out more personal info, started filming around the house and making a wider variety of videos, she also linked her youtube with an instagram account.
This has all been really quiet for the last 7 years, there's been no problems and I haven't really thought anything about it as she doesn it all herself. In January she had about 5000 followers jointly on youtube and instagram, only a few hundred people who actively engaged so small enough so that dsd was reading and replying to all her comments and only doing it as a hobby.
She films around our house and garden but doesn't film the surrounding streets so doesn't give our address away, we live in a pretty safe and secluded house on a private road so aren't in a vunerable or obvious location, the general area we live is obvious from some of her videos though. Also my kids (11,8,4 and 3), me and DH have briefly been in quite a few of her 'vlogs' and my eldest has been in a few of her proper videos. She obviously doesn't show them in school uniform and although all their first names are mentioned she wont give their surname (different to dsd's)
Now she is at 22.5K on intstagram and 33K on youtube and her accounts are still growing really quickly, this is obviously amazing for her as she's been able to stop her other job and focus on being a makeup artist full time, she getting a lot more work and is doing really well but it also means a lot more people are watching her and she isn't able to read all comments anymore.
Quite a lot friends and school mums have found her accounts recently and a few have been expressing concern about how much of our house and our children are online (all very friendly and genuine concern) considering how many views she is getting and to make sure we don't film the school or their kids etc. I cant seem to find how many videos she has but there's quite a few hundred, so removing any videos showing our house or our kids wouldn't be easy and also changing how she films wouldn't be very good for her channel so am really reluctant to even consider this unless it becomes necessary.
AIBU (or stupid/naive) in thinking that we are being careful enough and atm there isn't really a huge risk?
