    Other North Korean YouTubers have uploaded videos of themselves eating popsicles, going fishing, hitting the gym, and shopping for groceries.

    Oh no! Them filming a lifestyle vlog? Sounds suspicious.

    There are telling signs that Ryan’s World’s videos may be scripted, or at least not as candid as his channel portrays. His eyes often dart away from the camera, as though looking to someone for guidance, and he speaks as though reciting lines from a play.

    American YouTube channels like his might be part of a push by Joseph Biden to get more “creative” with propaganda techniques, William Williams, a research professor of American studies at Education Management Corporation, told Lemmy.

          That kid is going to be so extremely traumatized and maladapted by the time he’s even 12. I can’t even begin to comprehend the psychological effects that this level of exploitation at such a young age would bring. It does seem like all harmless family friendly fun, but I doubt the scene when the camera isn’t rolling is very healthy. This kid is getting used by a prop by his caretakers to essentially print money.

          I just hope that he might at least see a small portion of what he’s earned so that he can recover well and not be to impacted by this further down in his future.

    Personally, I think she shouldn’t be on YouTube for a completely different reason. The internet is actually unsafe for children that young and there are a lot of disgusting pervs on YouTube. You’re not supposed to be on social media till you’re 13, and I think even that is too young, a safer age is probably 15 or 16.

    And as we’ve seen here, if you’re from a country the west hates, you’re a target. Even if you’re a child. Not against people in the DPRK posting to YouTube, obviously, but for their safety it should be limited to full adults only.
