On the shelf? Just pop in.
A searing investigation into the child influencer industry and the perils of childhood internet fame, this work is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the costs of internet fame, and the ethics of online content. What is it like to grow up with a camera in your face 24/7? To have your childhood moments sold as 'content' to millions online? What happens when someone who works in a largely unregulated multi-billion-dollar industry sells away their childhood and has no financial safety net as an adult? What does it feel like to have your private moments - your medical diagnoses, your first period, your first break up, your tantrums, potty-training, and breastfeeding-weaning - broadcast to an audience of millions? This text shines a spotlight on the deeply troubling world of the child influencer industry.
