Vulnerable victims & families must often lead advocacy efforts for their loved ones Events like #CrimeCon should be safe spaces for the vulnerable, and it seems like they’re headed towards that end Unfortunately that can’t undo the retraumatization I suffered #engagewithempathy

It's @liketheriver_'s last day on the Atavist home page! If you haven't yet read her story on the wild, frightening world of YouTube kidfluencers, there's no time like the present.

Not only is this YouTube junk making our kids stupid, it’s ruining the lives of the kids making the videos. This long read from the @atavist is horrifying.

ALT "According to Johna and other moms interviewed for this story, Tiffany didn't just discourage kids from going to parties, attending auditions, or being tagged in photos that didn't involve the Squad -- she often viewed it as downright disloyalty. Kids she deemed ungrateful for one reason or another fell off the shooting schedule, the social media equivalent of being benched, until Tiffany changed her mind." -Nile Cappello The Atavist No. 135

"According to the lawsuit, Tiffany directed kids to kiss to make ships seem more real, and to 'push their butts out,' 'make sexy kissing faces,' or 'wear something sluttier.'"

"Adults might not understand the appeal of watching a video of Kaji tearing into a Lego set or Piper making slime in her kitchen for the same reason young kids are unlikely to grasp the popularity of The Bachelor: The content isn’t made for them."

When he joined a popular circle of tween YouTube influencers, it seemed like he was fulfilling his dreams. But in the Squad, fame and fortune came at a cost.

"The popularity of ships offer content creators unique business opportunities. Just as sex sells with adult audiences, puppy love hooks pubescent ones."
