I know people have made the argument about sharing childrens privacy online in exchange for gifted items and money and the safety and risk around doing that.
For me, it's also about the fact that this is a make believe world. If the app closed down tomorrow, what is your back up? What is your earning stream in the real world? What do you have as a fail safe to ensure the security for you and your family?
Further to this, as a mother to a young daughter myself, do I really want me selling our lives online to be the example she learns? What does this teach our children about ambition and importance in doing a decent days work for your money? Also to know that the influencer role is really selective, not everyone will be a 'chosen' one and make it big. How does that define your self worth?
Theres so many questions morally for me around it that don't sit with my values. How about using your influence to raise awareness on issues instead? It all feels so vapid and dumbed down. All for show.
