"Forbes" magazine announced the 2020 global YouTube blogger income rankings. At the top of the list is Ryan Kaji, a boy born in 10s. His annual income is 30 million US dollars.

"Why can other children appear on camera but I can't?" One day in March 2015, 4-year-old Ruian asked his mother this question.

So with the help of his family, Ryan started recording videos and had his own channel.

Subsequently, Ruian's toy review program became an instant hit. Five years later, Ruian has 41.7 million fans, and the total number of views of the video is as high as 12.2 billion.

The popularity has brought huge profits. It is said that in 2019, Ruian earned US$29.5 million through its own channels and nearly US$200 million from the sales of its own brand toys and clothing.

9-year-old Ryan is the most influential child in the world.

But he is not the only child on the list. Anastia, who occupies the seventh place on the list, is only 6 years old, but earned 18.5 million US dollars in one year.

Ruian has become a "winner in life" at a young age. Netizens are very envious and wish they were his parents.

But some people are also worried that at such a young age, if they don’t study, socialize, and play, and they won’t be so successful in the future, how will their children find themselves again?

In this Internet age, children’s earning power is no less than that of adults.

This phenomenon is also very common in the country.

Han Dapeng from Shandong is a video blogger, and the two children at home are the two leading actors under Han Dapeng's lens. He will write the script in advance, but he also allows the children to play their own roles according to the plot and produce it through storyboards and editing.

Make a video of the finished product.

In just over a year, Han Dapeng's account attracted a large number of fans. By adding advertisements to his videos, the account's monthly income even reached 150,000 yuan.

"I used to be an ordinary person, but now I make so much money, I think the Internet is too scary." His child suddenly became an Internet celebrity, and Han Dapeng seemed not to have expected that his little idea would be so successful.

The rise of these children's Internet celebrities has brought benefits to many parents, but it has also given rise to some distorted social phenomena.

The success of children's Internet celebrities is inseparable from the help of their parents. Ruian's parents helped their sons operate accounts and developed their own brands in their sons' images. Han Dapeng wrote scripts and filmed videos for their children.

It is precisely because of the cooperation between parents and children that these children are successful today.

But there are also many parents who become "nibbling tribesmen" after their children become famous, trying to profit from their children by exploiting them.

On October 19, 2018, a pair of parents posted a video of their daughter online. In the video, the one-and-a-half-year-old girl Paige danced with the characters in the animation and looked very cute.

Since then, Peggy's parents have occasionally posted videos online of their children eating and playing, attracting many viewers.

However, the parents' overfeeding caused the child's weight to increase. By 2019, the two-year-old Peppa Pig already weighed 50 pounds.

Page's parents regard it as a gimmick, "50 pounds at two and a half years old", they often add this sentence to the title of the video.

Perhaps out of curiosity, the number of views of these videos has obviously increased, which seems to have encouraged Paige's parents. By May 2019, Paige's weight had increased to 60 pounds.

In 2020, Page's weight has increased to 70 pounds.

The originally energetic and cute little girl now looks a little obese. The excessive weight makes it difficult for the girl to walk. It also makes her have low self-esteem and is reluctant to go out and interact with others.

But Peggy's parents are still not satisfied. Although many netizens have left messages saying that their child's health is very worrying, they still continue to let their children eat a variety of high-calorie foods, such as burgers, cakes, cola, and fried chicken, even though Peggy is in the camera.

Despite repeated requests not to let her eat anymore, Page's parents filled the plate in front of their child with all kinds of food again and again.

In order to make their children become Internet celebrities, the parents have obviously gone down a wrong path. Many netizens have also realized this and began to try to stop this behavior by reporting. The platform also banned the accounts of Peggy's parents.

During this period of her career as an Internet celebrity, Peppa Pig has completely become a profit-making tool in the hands of her parents. Peppa Pig’s parents’ behavior of “gnawing at babies” should be cast aside by society.

Society should introduce relevant laws and regulations to protect the legitimate rights and interests of these child Internet celebrities, and some countries have already done so.

On October 6, 2020, the French National Assembly unanimously passed the "Online Platform Children's Image Commercial Development Management Act", which stipulates that if these children are full-time "Internet celebrities", their parents must report and obtain professional permission.

.

These bills also stipulate that these child influencers can only work a maximum of five days a week, and the working hours cannot exceed a maximum of three hours a day. They must take a break every one and a half hours. The money earned by the children does not belong entirely to their parents.

All, part of the income must be deposited in a French public depository bank.
