Whore your son out to the internet NOW.

But really, as long as you monitor everything close enough, you should definitely get it poppin for him.

It probably be better that he waits at least until he is a teenager to do that...

When I was a child we were taught to be responsible with personal information online. Probably why I'm not active on social media, but I wouldn't expect a seven year old to be ready for the internet like that.

Kinda what I'm leaning towards. I don't want it to like turn into "Ryan" from Ryan's toy review. Maybe he'd get big by doing this, but then as a child he has to deal with fame issues.

People online tend to be cruel. I feel like a litteral kid might not be ready to face that crap. Anyway, it's your call TC, but I suggest monitoring what he is doing...

He wouldn't deal with online comments. I know better than letting him reply to people or even acknowledge fans. Maybe only reply to a few good comments that's about it. I'd be in control especially if he required a social media account.

If the boy wants to make videos then get him a video editing program.

I can do the editing for him then slowly teach him, but he needs to focus on school also. Not every Youtuber will make it big.

Lol school. Can you imagine caring that your kid learns a good routine and gets use to not just sitting on his ass learning nothing. Bad parenting in 2020

I'm confused. Does your son want to make videos or do you want to make videos

If I do the leg work and he starts making money I'd keep 50% for myself until he's ready to do it all on his own and most of it won't happen until teenage cause of online comments.

And there it is.

jk, that's probably fair, depending on how much is coming in. If it's like 30$, just let him have it to motivate him.

This sounds like a disaster in the making.

You should say NO, and keep him away from wanting to become a YouTuber / Streamer.

For sure. If it got to over $500 a month I'd start taking half. Otherwise he can save up that money he's making and when he's at the right age he can do whatever he wants with it.

Youtube is fine because youll inevitably watch every second of what is being uploaded. Live streaming would be a hard no.

There wont be comments because comments will be disabled because he is a kid.

You should definitely have them help you as much as possible with the post-production. That will be the valuable skill youll be teaching.

Dont worry about fame or money. There wont be any.

3 is a terrible age. All 3 year olds suck. No offense. But they're just learning how to talk where people can understand them, but all they know is that they want and deserve everything and their only strategy when not getting it is to cry and whine >_>. It seems like the age where you either show them they'll get what they want that way or you show them that shit doesn't fly

He started talking a few months before 3 similar to my first kid. Which is good. The whining is annoying, but he usually understands no means no. I don't always give in. I find distracting works. He tends to move a lot when changing his diaper so I start asking him questions that interest him and he stops moving. I cannot wait until he's 4 or 5. At least he understands what I'm saying though especially if I get mad <_<

He's not into Minecraft anymore, but he might get back into it. He started getting good at building.

My niece used to act like she was making youtube videos when she was just walking around talking to herself or drawing when she was that age. It passed thankfully.

My 4 year old niece just got into minecraft and talks about it all the time lol. But I feel like her mom gives into her whining too much. When Im over there I act so petty towards her just to set a balance lol. It's funny to me when I think about the perspective of people she has over, when I'm just acting like a dick to a 4 year old. But if she learns how to deal with me early on and realize not everyone is gonna cater to her, I feel that's overall good. Plus, it's not like she doesn't like me. I play games with her when I notice she's bored and no one is paying attention to her. I got her into playing with badminton equipment lately
