Didn’t Lazy do some sort of poll thing ages ago when she was on Twitter when someone stated their fan base was made up of children? I can’t remember the details but I’m sure she purported that their fans were mainly aged 20-30 with someone successfully arguing it was much younger? Maybe someone with a better memory than me might recall....One sentence sprung at me from this article: "In order to identify content made for kids, creators will be required to tell us when their content falls in this category," not a chance that the Inghams will say their content is for kids.
They fail to even acknowledge that its mostly kids who watch them. Like every other rule that Youtube enforce, the Minghams will find a way round it. I'd love this to be the final nail in their coffin but I can't see it. Their views have been increasing (whether legit or not is anyone's guess) so their income is likely increasing too. Unfortunately as shite as their European travels were, it has brought them the desired effect of increased views which means more income, which means they aren't going anywhere yet unfortunately.
You’re absolutely right though if there’s any danger they might have some income at risk they’ll strenuously insist that they are not broadcasting to children. Of course it’s fully grown adults that buy overpriced pop sockets, bright red rucksacks with their name on and errr rubber baby dolls
