don’t get me wrong i find atticus annoying in the videos, but i really think he’s going to develop some issues as he’s growing up because of this lifestyle, and i think the same for all children and babies who’ve been exploited by influencers. when they got to the room at alton towers and he’s having a look around and he’s got both ana and his mum filming him and talking to him from behind a camera, it’s so impersonal and strange, like yes ana spoils him but she only does it for content, she barely makes an effort to go and spend time with him unless she can film it for views, it’s going to give him such a warped perception of love when he’s older
we debate it a lot on here but to me it’s clear he struggles, whether that be autism or entitlement or whatever your own personal verdict is, but i can’t even imagine being that age and having my meltdowns and embarrassing moments etc. being posted all over the internet, it’s so exploitive and although he says he wants to be a youtuber when he grows up he’s not really old enough to understand what it all means
like no matter how annoying he is i still can’t help but feel sorry for him because he’s basically been moulded by ana while he’s been growing up that he has to act a certain way to get her views up, so now he’s learnt to act that way as a cry for attention because it’s what elicits a response from them
sorry for the massive rant i just feel so strongly about it
