Going off on a different note this week, hitting what peaked my interest! Can we talk about the highest grossing YouTube star of 2020 and how he is ONLY 9 years old!!! Okay so what am I doing wrong... It is crazy to me that someone so young can make so much money in one year, but also alarming. It strikes the question of what he is going to do with money like that, or what his family will do with money like that.
Don't get me wrong, I think it is incredible that he is a rising star and that he is taking his time to do school, but also enjoy himself by reviewing toys and going on day trips with his family. He seems like such a fun loving and intelligent kid. But we all know what the internet does to people. My fear with this sweet boy is that eventually what happens if things turn dark. Having a lot of money is sometimes not always a good thing. He can become a target to some, whether it is bullying him on his channel and putting him down with their own opinions.
It is not easy to be a rising star and to be so young. I hope that his family and him sit down to really understand what all goes on when it comes to the internet and how ethically and morally sometimes people are out to hurt others. It is so common to see younger kids, mainly in their teens, but younger people who become hard on themselves and depressed because of what people say to them on social media. I would hate for this extremely spunky and fun-loving kid to become depressed and down because people are jealous of him and think destroying him would help build themselves up.
