tankninja1 yeah, shouldn’t youtube stop this...? I guess it’s fine because it’s really Ryan’s parents making the money and those articles just say Ryan is the one earning the money? Jesus Christ...
Casey S why would youtube do anything about that when they won’t even remove someone like onision who is a known predator. (unrelated to this videos subject but it just shows how little youtube cares about who is on their platform)
@@caseys2698 the thing is TH-cam is the on getting screwed with the whole kids video thing. Kids just sit and let this crap play on loop. That is why the views are so high but they don't even know what's going on. We are going to have a generation of people that do not understand the world.
Imagine being the under payed voice actor trying desperately to break into the industry that has to sit in a booth and talk about Carls Jr. in a cartoon snake voice all day
Yeah I was thinking of that too....they're animated characters of real kids, who then are turned into cartoon animals voiced by grown men. It's a completely different thing. and the guy whose sitting there yelling "yeah! Carl's Jr is the beEeEest!" Do you think he hated that? Do you think he's disgusted by it as much as I am?
@@skettlesfart he probably just wanted to make a couple videos playing with his toys and now his parents are using him to make a bunch of money and have basically turned him into their main source of income
You know, one of the main reasons Mr. Rogers started Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and testified for funding for the PBS was because he genuinely cared about what children were seeing on TV. Because of him, an entire generation was taught extremely valuable lessons through a show that was both entertaining to and respectful to children. He knew that kids aren't dumb, they just don't have the experience that the rest of us do, so he implemented that heavily into his show. I think right now we need another person like Mr. Rogers on TV.
Actually PBS content for kids is still good, PBS is funded partially by the National Endowment for the Arts which AMERICAN TAXPAYERS support, and they get little kickbacks from major backers, but they make it painfully clear "this is an ad, this is an ad, hey kids..this is an ad, did you know this is an ad?" and its more more than 15 seconds.
@Lightning [ThatOneBasicArtist] its a movie where's this one guy(Jim Carrey) basically living while getting filmed without him realizing he was in film set. for me the movie's pretty good
There's almost no way Ryan grows up socialized well. He has a full time career as a child and makes more then a thousand adults combined. It makes me think of the Olsen twins and then when they just kinda left show biz they still got harassed and called weird just for living their lives how they want, and as kids they were like saying they had no time. Its just sad to me
Damn I wish my parents "abused" me Already anti social BUT become a multi millionaire and never have another problem in your fucking life Sign me the fuck up Pretty sure me and the whole planet are down to get "abused"
I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes a coke head by 16. Puberty is already a bitch for most normal people but being a multi-millionaire and have the whole world in your palms and then going through those hormonal changes? Yep, he’s f’d.
He doesn't even get to keep the toys. They're just for the videos and then they get sold or given away otherwise their house would be too full of toys.
y'all acting like consumerism, corporatism or capitalism has or could ever hurt a single living soul, let alone the most vulnerable members of our society! this is unheard of! its like how the old saying goes: "whe let me die lol
My kids use to watch Ryan's Toys and boy did it turn them into greedy and whiney kids. We would go to the store and they would see the toys from the show and throw an absolute fit when told no. We quit letting them watch it and within a few weeks that completely stopped. It was insane how much that one channel changed their attitude. It's sickening
I remember running out of the room where my sister and I were watching Saturday morning cartoons because an ad said to “tell your parents to buy etc etc” and kids are just so damn literal. My Mom explained that I don’t have to do that, but it paints the moral that adorns the tale as it were.
I did that once during a PBS fundraiser. Probably interrupted sesame street or something and he said "I want to talk to tour parents." I told my mom but she didn't come to listen 😅
i hate the idea of referring to a child as a “franchise” (also fun fact! they stole a mobile game, dash tag, from a company called wildworks, and literally just turned the main character into ryan. that’s literally the only difference, everything else is fucking identical)
Interesting fact: the FTC has a rule with toy commercials and the like that the toy(lets say Spongebob) cannot be played during the same TV show(Spongebob) because children can not tell the difference between the two, they get the same entertainment satisfaction from both and can not tell any difference
I remember being a kid and explicitly being able to tell the difference though. Were commercials often entertaining? Sure, they're made to be that way to catch kids' attention to make them want the item being advertised. Regardless, I really don't see how restricting when a commercial plays would make a difference; they're pandering to children using their favorite characters either way.
@@AK-yc9xz I could also tell the difference. But, if you played an ad for a spongebob toy/movie while I was watching the show I would probably have thought about the commercial more. Otherwise, I might tune it out.
Vash the Flash Stampede the thing is, when we were kids, commercials weren’t complete shows. Like, the closest you could get were the animated shows that you could buy a toy later, but now you have a companys name being said on a tv show they love, over and over, saying it’s amazing. it’s like brainwashing them into wanting that item
They need to stop targeting advertising to kids. It's so messed up. Update: Just saw the part about them making kids TH-camrs into global franchises. Super gross and exploitative and should be illegal to use kids that way.
OMGoodness sir scrolling and saw this OMGoodness I died laughing I know it's refrence and must admit that movie was Epic in it's dumb hilarity THANK YOU
It’s insane to me how society never learns the dangers of exploiting children for entertainment and the story continues to happen. It happened with the Olsen twins, we’re watching it unfold with jojo siwa, and Ryan is that exact story waiting to happen
truly the dangers of unregulated mediums. we could not crack down faster on child exploitation on youtube, but youtube brings the mega hammer down on cursing/other unsavory content to get in bed with advertisers. shows their eyes are after the money...
They don’t “learn” because too many sick people are benefiting from the trauma it causes. There are RINGS of organized …crime that benefit off of child exploitation. They have gov officials, policeman, Hollywood directors. Not a conspiracy theory either. It’s straight up conspiracy and every once in awhile, an arrest happens to soothe the masses but they won’t put a legitimate stop to it because it’s lucrative. Trust . The people that could put a stop to this exploitation would if they gave a crap.
Imagine growing up, and noticing you spent your entire life as an advert. Then you complain and some documentary gets made by you and boom, someone just made money off of you again.
"The main Avenger is paying for the exploitation of a child. I don't remember that in Iron Man!" thats because it didnt happen until spider-man homecoming
That poor kid. More people need to see this. What ever happened to actually entertaining the kids with a well thought out plot that also educates them?
Even the TV shows that were made to sell toys were better than this. There was still a plot. You bought the toys because they were cool but also because the show was cool! they had to earn that.
It's sad because we all already know damn well how the child star song and dance goes. He's either gonna get bullied incredibly hard at school for being 'different and famous for his toy shows' or he's gonna grow up like the oslen twins having no idea what it's like to be a person, because he spent literally his entire childhood making content and working. And either way when he's an adult, he might still be super fucking rich, but he'll have no damn idea how to be a person because in his development years, rather than learning and doing shit and making friends, he'll been forced to spend his time doing this.
@@gavinb090 I hate how everyone says "oh lol an 8 year old makes more money than me FML." It's not his money. It's his parent's money. Let's hope some is left and they give him some in TEN YEARS.
@@sorryifoldcomment8596 No, that is his money, he acts in this show, and his parents use him as a brand, they leave him with the mindset of a 4 year old even though he’s 8-9 now, he’s going to be one of those kids who can’t grow up
What’s worse is that the only thing that makes him marketable is that he’s a kid playing with toys, when he starts to grow up he’s gonna fall so far from fame it’s gonna just be sad. He may have more money than anybody here in this comment section but in due time his life will fall harder than any of us could imagine.
@@bestcatowner8711 worst part is that normally a child actor can usually bounce back after their teen years. Look at Macaulay culkin. He was a child star, he later laid low during his teen years then bounced back as an adult using his child star days as leverage. Using notoriety to help his career as an adult. But the thing is that as a kid he actually appeared in films. He actually acted. Ryan won’t be able to bounce back because his “career” was just he himself playing with toys. When he grows up at most they’ll be some talk show that’s like “hey it’s Ryan but he’s an adult! How cool.” He won’t ever find a job because of his time on the internet. His parents are going to rob him (just like culkin to continue to use him as an example) of money that realistically should be his and his life is going to suck because he’s missing out on a crucial part of life. Those developmental days as an infant toddler and child are super important and I’m sure he gets a bit of time off camera but given how much content the parents seem to be pushing out he probably isn’t getting enough time off camera to be himself... Poor kid. Never would I have thought that a child playing with all the toys he’d ever want would damn them in the long run.... the internet has truly opened Pandora’s box to some of the most insane ballocks of all time...
I don't know why but it really hit me when Eddy said that all Ryan wanted to do was make a few videos with his mom and dad. Really sad they used that excitement to fuel a company
Can we also talk about how weird it is that these little kids are being shown a real kid in a context that sells Ryan’s unboxing personality as genuine and then being shown that same kid being presented as a superhero?
He'll probably be a depressed kid, obsessed with social media. He will do drugs and such and will never have a future because he will be too old for his crappy youtube channel
@@Doctor_Straing_Strange To be fair this already happens to a lot of people in this generation (teenagers/just barely not teenagers) so he'd just be falling in line with a lot of others. Its REALLY fucked up. I just hope that isn't what ends up happening to him.
It might be like the gifted kid syndrome where he puts crazy pressure on himself to perform just as highly as he did when he was eight but can’t because he’s too ild
My biggest fear for children being exploited like this is them being given the riches before they can fully realize that they where exploited and then being detached from society to the point where they never realize what happened
The current media thinks kids are dumb. But from older shows, we can see that kids can follow plots and learn from complex scenarios. Take a look at Charlie Brown, Hey Arnold, even more current ones like The Amazing World of Gumball, and many others. Kids can follow a story, and they aren’t gonna learn from hearing words they already know and watching crap that treats them as if they don’t know what conflict is.
@Nick Moore I never saw feminists arguing that little boys can't get exploited but ok. And I'm not a bot, calling someone a spambot isn't a good arguement
Ironic and sad that Downey is invested in this, as a former young actor turned troubled adult because his adolescence was abnormal--he kinda wrote that pipeline (along with other late 80s preteen actors).
I have some weird feeling that when this kid is grown up there's going to be a story about how his parents refuse to give him all the money made from his work.
@EseChava 22 I never denied what you said, in fact i 100% agree with you. You are in such a rush to be the guy who spits facts that you just naturally assumed I was against you, am I not aloud to insult people when I think they are trying to hard to be edgy? You want it so bad to be the truth seeker you want to appear to be the guy that KNOWS, it's embarrassing. I mean everyone goes through that phase growing up, there's nothing better than thinking you are this awesome entity shutting everyone down. Even I had that phase. It's just embarrassing to look back on though even if I was technically right, I just realised that noone likes that guy and that there's easier ways to convey my opinions without being overly obnoxious.
I honestly feel bad for Ryan, his parents are robbing him of a normal childhood and we don’t even know if he gets a share of the 22mil, or if he does, if he’s using it wisely and not blowing it
@@ABD-42 Do not go to highschool? I mean unless the parents are utter cancer this kid is going to be set for life. Not having to worry about money for his hole life. Right? I mean school is utter useless as math and stuff you can learn at home. Only reason to go to a school is due to jobs requiring you to have this "proof" of knowlage...
@@TheDiner50 you need to learn to keep the money you have. no amount of money is infinite money and there will be predators who would want all that and will try to make him sign contracts and essentially rob him. I'm not saying school directly teaches you all these things but you need to learn to interact with people and also have basic knowledge about this world
Diner50 I actually think the most valuable part of a normal education is the social aspect. Someone like Ryan needs to be in school, not necessarily so he can get a job, but so he can socialize with other normal kids his age and build a social network that he can rely on outside of this gross industry he was forced into. Besides, he may not need a job or money, but he might discover he has a passion and want to pursue that as a career
The real questions for his parents is What’s gonna happen when he realizes? What happens when he grows up?/what happens when he grows out of it? Also I wonder how the channel will affect Ryan’s friendships, relationships and mental health in the future and even now
The worst part is, almost all the young movie stars grow up to lead a terrible life and die at around 30. I have heard of so many child stars growing out of their industry and having nowhere to go and end up commiting suicide. It's so sad. They really need to tighten the laws on media platforms because there are so many criminals getting away scott-free.
@@marleesuarez7162 yeah And like if theres a child they are NOT in a limited contract. More like they are in a child labour law contract but none of that 'they cant leave BS'
Honestly they should make like minors film only on the weekend scenes with children on the weekend yeah its hard but its better than nothing and probably not the most efficient. Also I think stuff like movies or commercials the only thing kids can be the main character I think putting them on tv should be banned. Edit: Maybe minors can be main characters on a show but probably make them film after school hours but not late-night
I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m doing a presentation in class about how the current state of children’s advertisement and entertainment is unethical. This video has been a huge help. Thanks boy ❤️
Eddy: puts out a 20 minute, well-scripted video essay on the dangers of a growing phenomenon in children's entertainment Gus: P A P E R B A S E D S T I C K E R S
the strangest thing about all of this to me is how since this video was made, the line between disney+ and hulu has blurred so much. disney+'s original intention was to be kid-friendly which led to some bizarre choices that reeked of bigotry - specifically refusing putting content they deemed "inappropriate" for a "family audience" on disney+ and making hulu their "more adult" service. yet as of july 2022, ryan's show is still on hulu, and disney+ has MA-rated tv. not sure where this is going, but that business model is a whole mess and affects entire production teams who can lose their platform if not tailored to disney's standards of "appropriate." (i know this video came out before disney+ was created and right after disney acquired fox/hulu, but it's still bizarre how it's progressed.)
Hi guys im ryan toy review and i want to die and my parents arent saving up my college fund but instead they are wasting it and im going to review this lego toy and im going to play with them, please help me im a business against my will
the scene with the butch fartman characters going to carls jr is literally a parody of wierd pervasive ads targeted at kids but done totally unironically and that for real scares the shit out of me
Drew Gooden did a video about the Olsen twins a while back and it's so fucked up what was done to them. They were basically in front of cameras before their first birthdays.
Thanos: damn that's cold. I take it back, you guys are doing great at destroying humanity! I'll just step in right when you're about to hit the 50% mark.
Yeah except they were teens, not kids as young as Ryan, meaning that they probably had at least some semblance of understanding what they're getting into. Also, as far as I remember, in productions with the Olsen twins there was no blatant, outright product placements
@@nob2243 the Olsen twins have been on the screen since they were in diapers. I am not exaggerating watch the show full house from the first episode then you will see them as babies who couldn't even walk yet
noob2243 Mary Kate and Ashley were cast in Full House at 6 months old. I’ve seen interviews with them talking about how they love working and don’t even want to be like normal kids, like of course they didn’t, they didn’t know anything else, they’ve been working since before the had object permanence.
Can we talk about how they took a pencil and literally erased those real children then replaced them with animated characters and different voices to do an ad? I’m sick
Yeah, it's like those celebrity cartoons from the 80's and 90's (Mr. T, Chuck Norris' Karate Komandos, etc.) but instead of celebrities, it's random children nobody knows. Alternatively it's like the Pod People, where real people are replaced with their counterparts from the cartoon dimension.
Thought I would say this, but the hobby channel has been around for a while, and before they got an animated TV show probably like five years ago. They just unboxed things and played Minecraft. It was a pretty wholesome channel that taught kids how to take care of their friends I don’t understand what happened. And they were kids three children and their mom and sometimes their dad playing games not animated things children.
As a parent of two young boys I’d like to thank you for this video. I’m genuinely scared about giving my kids internet access and keeping track of all this awful content is overwhelming so these videos are genuinely helpful. Thanks again.
PBS app, that shits gold imo and actually works. My kids are entertained and I notice that they’re legitimately learning something. Also I’ve got a blocker on the router and their devices; at least until they’re a little older and their brain’s no longer goop
I'm glad you're monitoring what your kids are watching/doing online. It always concerns me when parents give their young children unmonitored access to the internet so it's encouraging to hear from a parent who's doing their best to protect their kids, while also being sad that it's something parents have to do nowadays with the internet
As someone that grew up watching cartoons loving them and still watching and loving them, I'm insanely worried for what the future of actual, heartfelt animation is like.
Bro, jonni phillips already have like a mega cartoon film and a series (and other pending one). It's not really for kids, but it is still really good. I wish their cartoon hangover cartoon took of tho (about this girl and her gtand father controlling an island)
What makes it scarier is once these kids grow up, especially ryan with how big his audience is, the loss of their marketability as a child is gonna be placed on their shoulders. Their parents and sponsors are gonna place blame on them, shame them for not being cute and young anymore. For not wanting to sit in front of a camera and play with toys anymore, wanting to hang out with friends etc. it scares me what those parents are gonna turn to once their kids get older. Will they keep trying to film their lives, their vulnerable moments? Will they sell their childs likeness to companies even when theyre teenagers? Ryan isnt the only one whos had his likeness basically turned into a logo for businesses that are out of their control. I used to work at target and soooo many brands on toy shelves nowadays are just some random kids face, they get dolls that look like them, play sets etc. Idk how its gonna impact them years down the line feeling like theyre worthless now bc their parents cant manipulate them anymore and millions of kids dont watch them anymore. Its gonna massively harm their mental health for sure. It reminds me of kids who grow up with parents who pressure them to be perfect and that their appearance is the most important thing. That really hurts you in the long run. Its not gonna end once these kids grow up, their parents are just gonna look for the next best thing to manipulate for their financial benefit.
@@rare80 it doesn't have the same artisan qualities of classic play-doh and it doesn't have that earthy scent. i could lie to myself, but why be denied one of life's pleasures and choke on a pale imitation?
Fun fact, Gen Alpha started in 2015, so they’re upfront about targeting 6 and under kids, not even 8 years old, so pocket.watch uh... We live in a society
It’s so weird to see Butch’s animation style in such a weird children’s advertisement. Is a similar feeling to seeing Daffy Duck dressed as a nazi or a parade of doctor sues characters marching in retaliation against nazi Germany.
i feel like this poor kid is gonna resent his parents once he's old enough to fight for himself. Like this poor kid has a show on nickelodeon, and it's some of the saddest stuff ever because he doesn't even look like he enjoys it
Yea i bet once he’s of age and an instant multi-Millionaire with no strings attached as he’ll look totally different and socially unrecognizable. He’ll probably just go buy a small country to have a tantrum. What a shity life. How could his parents do that too him. Set him up for life... awful.
happy to be here Yeah when he’s 30-death and still fucking models he’s definitely gonna be mad his parents encouraged him to open toys a couple hours a day when he was a kid.
@@Charles.Howard the money isnt even his.. its literally his parents money. and his parents are already forcing a child to do full time work so theyre obviously terrible people. it probably sucks being forced to work every day when youre EIGHT YEARS OLD, i think youre forgetting that
@@Charles.Howard sell your kid as a brand for money He’ll be fine if he has money later tho. Money has never caused problems for Ryan and his family No way
This makes me feel like we're living in a dystopian future. If no one stops this that's what's going to be reality for everyone! (actually that's only how I feel tho)
Fun fact about my family for no reason that is also slightly off topic: Sesame Street taught me 26 year old grandmother how to speak English after she immigrated to Canada from Italy.
Fun fact! In the files of the racing game, among other files with Ryan's face textures, which change for different emotions, is a bloody scarecrow looking face with sewn over eyes and mouth
According to another comment they just copied a game called Dash Tag and just replaced the sprites for the playable character's to Ryan. They most likely didn't even bother checking anything else.
I grew up with the kid's show octonauts. A show I still love to this day. I highly recommend this TV show to kids. Also expect some becoming marine biologists in a few years. But these new kids TV stuff is literally just profiting off the innocence of children
But in the U.S. of A? Yeah, we’ll probably pass a similar law in 40 years. I fucking hate this country with its backwards ass ideals and blind patriotism
In most places, childers aren't sent to school until at least 5 so it wouldn't help those cute little 4 year olds. And they already have so much to pack into the school day! Their wee brains would explode!
@@carysbebard3690 it's on the parents fully when it comes to under fives. Parents need to be paying attention to what their children are watching. People used to say that plopping your kid infront of the television for hours on end without supervision, wasn't a suitable replacement for good parenting and decent entertainment. And these days the same is still true but it includes letting your kid run loose with an iPad lol.
or we could just have stricter regulations on advertising in children’s content, instead of relying on the kids themselves to discern what they can and can’t trust. the responsibility of navigating this stuff shouldn’t be put on the kids.
@@CorruptedN they still make great cartoons for kids. I baby sit for my nieces and nephews and they watch it. They still play old cartoons as well as play new cartoons.
Yo eddy I just started dating a girl with a kid recently and he loves that channel. I've even watched some of the videos and had no idea this stuff was going on man. Thanks for this video man this has been enlightening. Gotta get him watching some sesame street and magic school bus now. Hahaha
@@Princess.McBetch I mean of course I noticed that but I didnt know that ryan wasnt picking these toys because he liked them but that it was paid sponsorship. Also doesnt help that I'm not actively watching the videos with my girls kid he watches them while I'm playing video games or stuff like that yanno.
What a good boyfriend, wanting to show this kid that they have more value than being an advertisement sponge. I wish we could make old shows look HD, because I'd watch wayyy more Mr. Roger's if it was clearer. Anyways, have a good one! :)
Inside my Gaping Bumhole I think the DOVE thing is more of a publicity stunt rather than direct marketing. Amethyst doesn’t eat soap and say how smooth it is.
I appreciate that you're advocating for the dignity and spiritual/emotional health of the child, while recognizing that he's not developed enough to understand what's happening and can't really consent to these representations of himself. Children's health seems to be getting thrown under the bus in the age of the internet.
That Carl's Jr. thing made me think of Idiocracy when the lady couldn't get the burger out of the machine and it was the last of her money and then the machine says: "you are an unfit mother. Your child is now in the custody of Carl's Jr."
I wonder if RDJ actually knows what he’s investing in? Or is it just like his advisory board or executives that he employs to regulate his investment money? I need someone to ask him, like right now. I really don’t want this to become another GOOP™️ situation like Gwenyth Paltrow or another “threaten to kill my family, including my kids wife and myself, and constantly abuse them lol” like with Jeremy Renner. It makes a lot more sense that RDJ has a TH-cam Original show now... wtf is wrong with humanity
It’s likely a team of people that invest for him and just saw dollar signs, while investing in this can be seen as bad, I can understand why they would invest, if it makes money and it’s legal then why not, it’s all about money.

There's almost no way Ryan grows up socialized well. He has a full time career as a child and makes more then a thousand adults combined. It makes me think of the Olsen twins and then when they just kinda left show biz they still got harassed and called weird just for living their lives how they want, and as kids they were like saying they had no time. Its just sad to me
Oh yeah, there is - like, no way this kid doesn't come out resenting his parents for this shit when he gets pimply and hormonal.
Damn I wish my parents "abused" me
Already anti social BUT become a multi millionaire and never have another problem in your fucking life
Sign me the fuck up
Pretty sure me and the whole planet are down to get "abused"
I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes a coke head by 16. Puberty is already a bitch for most normal people but being a multi-millionaire and have the whole world in your palms and then going through those hormonal changes? Yep, he’s f’d.
Agreed

Unfortunately, probably the same thing that happens to most child stars who realize their parents are exploiting them

Coke, heroine, pain killers, Xanax, booze, sex, and eventual death.
Drugs & depression probably

We quit letting them watch it and within a few weeks that completely stopped. It was insane how much that one channel changed their attitude. It's sickening

I remember running out of the room where my sister and I were watching Saturday morning cartoons because an ad said to “tell your parents to buy etc etc” and kids are just so damn literal.
My Mom explained that I don’t have to do that, but it paints the moral that adorns the tale as it were.
I did that once during a PBS fundraiser. Probably interrupted sesame street or something and he said "I want to talk to tour parents." I told my mom but she didn't come to listen 😅

Interesting fact: the FTC has a rule with toy commercials and the like that the toy(lets say Spongebob) cannot be played during the same TV show(Spongebob) because children can not tell the difference between the two, they get the same entertainment satisfaction from both and can not tell any difference
Nerd city talked about this in his jake Paul video.
I remember being a kid and explicitly being able to tell the difference though. Were commercials often entertaining? Sure, they're made to be that way to catch kids' attention to make them want the item being advertised. Regardless, I really don't see how restricting when a commercial plays would make a difference; they're pandering to children using their favorite characters either way.
@@AK-yc9xz I could also tell the difference. But, if you played an ad for a spongebob toy/movie while I was watching the show I would probably have thought about the commercial more. Otherwise, I might tune it out.
Man y'all were dumb as kids if you couldn't tell the difference between the show or a commercial
Vash the Flash Stampede the thing is, when we were kids, commercials weren’t complete shows. Like, the closest you could get were the animated shows that you could buy a toy later, but now you have a companys name being said on a tv show they love, over and over, saying it’s amazing. it’s like brainwashing them into wanting that item

It’s insane to me how society never learns the dangers of exploiting children for entertainment and the story continues to happen. It happened with the Olsen twins, we’re watching it unfold with jojo siwa, and Ryan is that exact story waiting to happen
truly the dangers of unregulated mediums. we could not crack down faster on child exploitation on youtube, but youtube brings the mega hammer down on cursing/other unsavory content to get in bed with advertisers. shows their eyes are after the money...
They don’t “learn” because too many sick people are benefiting from the trauma it causes. There are RINGS of organized …crime that benefit off of child exploitation. They have gov officials, policeman, Hollywood directors. Not a conspiracy theory either. It’s straight up conspiracy and every once in awhile, an arrest happens to soothe the masses but they won’t put a legitimate stop to it because it’s lucrative.
Trust . The people that could put a stop to this exploitation would if they gave a crap.

It's sad because we all already know damn well how the child star song and dance goes. He's either gonna get bullied incredibly hard at school for being 'different and famous for his toy shows' or he's gonna grow up like the oslen twins having no idea what it's like to be a person, because he spent literally his entire childhood making content and working. And either way when he's an adult, he might still be super fucking rich, but he'll have no damn idea how to be a person because in his development years, rather than learning and doing shit and making friends, he'll been forced to spend his time doing this.
“Rich” I’m pretty sure that his parents are getting the money, not him, which is why it’s child labor
@@gavinb090 I hate how everyone says "oh lol an 8 year old makes more money than me FML."

What’s worse is that the only thing that makes him marketable is that he’s a kid playing with toys, when he starts to grow up he’s gonna fall so far from fame it’s gonna just be sad. He may have more money than anybody here in this comment section but in due time his life will fall harder than any of us could imagine.
@@bestcatowner8711 worst part is that normally a child actor can usually bounce back after their teen years. Look at Macaulay culkin. He was a child star, he later laid low during his teen years then bounced back as an adult using his child star days as leverage. Using notoriety to help his career as an adult.
But the thing is that as a kid he actually appeared in films. He actually acted. Ryan won’t be able to bounce back because his “career” was just he himself playing with toys. When he grows up at most they’ll be some talk show that’s like “hey it’s Ryan but he’s an adult! How cool.”
He won’t ever find a job because of his time on the internet. His parents are going to rob him (just like culkin to continue to use him as an example) of money that realistically should be his and his life is going to suck because he’s missing out on a crucial part of life. Those developmental days as an infant toddler and child are super important and I’m sure he gets a bit of time off camera but given how much content the parents seem to be pushing out he probably isn’t getting enough time off camera to be himself...
Poor kid. Never would I have thought that a child playing with all the toys he’d ever want would damn them in the long run.... the internet has truly opened Pandora’s box to some of the most insane ballocks of all time...
I don't know why but it really hit me when Eddy said that all Ryan wanted to do was make a few videos with his mom and dad. Really sad they used that excitement to fuel a company

It might be like the gifted kid syndrome where he puts crazy pressure on himself to perform just as highly as he did when he was eight but can’t because he’s too ild
My biggest fear for children being exploited like this is them being given the riches before they can fully realize that they where exploited and then being detached from society to the point where they never realize what happened
The current media thinks kids are dumb. But from older shows, we can see that kids can follow plots and learn from complex scenarios. Take a look at Charlie Brown, Hey Arnold, even more current ones like The Amazing World of Gumball, and many others. Kids can follow a story, and they aren’t gonna learn from hearing words they already know and watching crap that treats them as if they don’t know what conflict is.

Surely this is a breach of child labour laws? A video every day? How much work time is that for Ryan?
Diner50 I actually think the most valuable part of a normal education is the social aspect. Someone like Ryan needs to be in school, not necessarily so he can get a job, but so he can socialize with other normal kids his age and build a social network that he can rely on outside of this gross industry he was forced into. Besides, he may not need a job or money, but he might discover he has a passion and want to pursue that as a career

Honestly they should make like minors film only on the weekend scenes with children on the weekend yeah its hard but its better than nothing and probably not the most efficient. Also I think stuff like movies or commercials the only thing kids can be the main character I think putting them on tv should be banned.

the strangest thing about all of this to me is how since this video was made, the line between disney+ and hulu has blurred so much. disney+'s original intention was to be kid-friendly which led to some bizarre choices that reeked of bigotry - specifically refusing putting content they deemed "inappropriate" for a "family audience" on disney+ and making hulu their "more adult" service. yet as of july 2022, ryan's show is still on hulu, and disney+ has MA-rated tv. not sure where this is going, but that business model is a whole mess and affects entire production teams who can lose their platform if not tailored to disney's standards of "appropriate."
(i know this video came out before disney+ was created and right after disney acquired fox/hulu, but it's still bizarre how it's progressed.)

I’ve seen interviews with them talking about how they love working and don’t even want to be like normal kids, like of course they didn’t, they didn’t know anything else, they’ve been working since before the had object permanence.
Can we talk about how they took a pencil and literally erased those real children then replaced them with animated characters and different voices to do an ad? I’m sick
Yeah, it's like those celebrity cartoons from the 80's and 90's (Mr. T, Chuck Norris' Karate Komandos, etc.) but instead of celebrities, it's random children nobody knows. Alternatively it's like the Pod People, where real people are replaced with their counterparts from the cartoon dimension.

Thought I would say this, but the hobby channel has been around for a while, and before they got an animated TV show probably like five years ago. They just unboxed things and played Minecraft. It was a pretty wholesome channel that taught kids how to take care of their friends I don’t understand what happened. And they were kids three children and their mom and sometimes their dad playing games not animated things children.

@subtle username take me back to Sesame street
What makes it scarier is once these kids grow up, especially ryan with how big his audience is, the loss of their marketability as a child is gonna be placed on their shoulders. Their parents and sponsors are gonna place blame on them, shame them for not being cute and young anymore. For not wanting to sit in front of a camera and play with toys anymore, wanting to hang out with friends etc. it scares me what those parents are gonna turn to once their kids get older. Will they keep trying to film their lives, their vulnerable moments? Will they sell their childs likeness to companies even when theyre teenagers? Ryan isnt the only one whos had his likeness basically turned into a logo for businesses that are out of their control. I used to work at target and soooo many brands on toy shelves nowadays are just some random kids face, they get dolls that look like them, play sets etc. Idk how its gonna impact them years down the line feeling like theyre worthless now bc their parents cant manipulate them anymore and millions of kids dont watch them anymore. Its gonna massively harm their mental health for sure. It reminds me of kids who grow up with parents who pressure them to be perfect and that their appearance is the most important thing. That really hurts you in the long run. Its not gonna end once these kids grow up, their parents are just gonna look for the next best thing to manipulate for their financial benefit.

It’s so weird to see Butch’s animation style in such a weird children’s advertisement. Is a similar feeling to seeing Daffy Duck dressed as a nazi or a parade of doctor sues characters marching in retaliation against nazi Germany.

i feel like this poor kid is gonna resent his parents once he's old enough to fight for himself. Like this poor kid has a show on nickelodeon, and it's some of the saddest stuff ever because he doesn't even look like he enjoys it
Yea i bet once he’s of age and an instant multi-Millionaire with no strings attached as he’ll look totally different and socially unrecognizable. He’ll probably just go buy a small country to have a tantrum. What a shity life. How could his parents do that too him. Set him up for life... awful.
happy to be here Yeah when he’s 30-death and still fucking models he’s definitely gonna be mad his parents encouraged him to open toys a couple hours a day when he was a kid.
His mom was in jail for shoplifting
@@Charles.Howard the money isnt even his.. its literally his parents money. and his parents are already forcing a child to do full time work so theyre obviously terrible people. it probably sucks being forced to work every day when youre EIGHT YEARS OLD, i think youre forgetting that
@@Charles.Howard sell your kid as a brand for money
He’ll be fine if he has money later tho. Money has never caused problems for Ryan and his family
No way
This makes me feel like we're living in a dystopian future. If no one stops this that's what's going to be reality for everyone! (actually that's only how I feel tho)
Regardless of my hunger- never have I ever shouted aloud: “Carl’s Jr”
My mom would’ve told me we have “Carl’s Jr” at home
@@slumpmanwun uh
We only have Hardee's here which is basically the same thing and it's fucking greasy as fuck
This 8 year old makes more money than most drug cartels
In all seriousness, his parents profit off him.
@@inversion9651 yea it's kinda garbage
those would have to be some super shitty drug cartels
lmao what

The Carls Jr ad thing actually made me physically cringe, and that's not often it happens.
That put a terrible taste in my mouth. It felt so scummy man 😖
It made me cringe too and really uncomfortable.
Yeah, it felt like something you would see as a satire, you would never think people would actually stoop that low.
Part of me feels like the Butch Hartman Carl’s Jr. ad is where the souls of evil cartoons go when they die
I remember being like six and watching these guys, now they're sellouts
Fun fact about my family for no reason that is also slightly off topic: Sesame Street taught me 26 year old grandmother how to speak English after she immigrated to Canada from Italy.
That's inspirational and adorable ngl

Ok but jashonn, what does that mean in this context

Fun fact! In the files of the racing game, among other files with Ryan's face textures, which change for different emotions, is a bloody scarecrow looking face with sewn over eyes and mouth
Matt can u knock out the devs pls
According to another comment they just copied a game called Dash Tag and just replaced the sprites for the playable character's to Ryan. They most likely didn't even bother checking anything else.
Do you have an article with this or something? I’d like to read about that
Proof? I wanna see this shit
What the fuck are companies doing? Smoking some bullshit crack?
I grew up with the kid's show octonauts. A show I still love to this day. I highly recommend this TV show to kids. Also expect some becoming marine biologists in a few years. But these new kids TV stuff is literally just profiting off the innocence of children
In Norway, advertising to children is illegal
youre mother 2 lol
But in the U.S. of A?
Yeah, we’ll probably pass a similar law in 40 years.
I fucking hate this country with its backwards ass ideals and blind patriotism
It’s illegal here in the US as well but it’s not properly enforced
So no toy adverts at all?
SparklyDream how tf does that work?
We should be teaching 'recognising paid advertisements' is schools.
Media literacy
In most places, childers aren't sent to school until at least 5 so it wouldn't help those cute little 4 year olds. And they already have so much to pack into the school day! Their wee brains would explode!
@@carysbebard3690 it's on the parents fully when it comes to under fives. Parents need to be paying attention to what their children are watching. People used to say that plopping your kid infront of the television for hours on end without supervision, wasn't a suitable replacement for good parenting and decent entertainment. And these days the same is still true but it includes letting your kid run loose with an iPad lol.
Bas de Bruin it’s common sense as you get older we don’t need to teach 10 year olds that
or we could just have stricter regulations on advertising in children’s content, instead of relying on the kids themselves to discern what they can and can’t trust. the responsibility of navigating this stuff shouldn’t be put on the kids.

Didn't realize I was spelling his name wrong this whole time.
Sorry Yddie.
you fucking idiot its "eddie with a y" jesus try harder next time
lmaooo ur all wrong its just 'yyyyyy'
Whoosh
I have a feeling when Ryan grows up he’s gonna go full jeanette mcurdy and expose his parents and I cannot wait for that day
Yo eddy I just started dating a girl with a kid recently and he loves that channel. I've even watched some of the videos and had no idea this stuff was going on man. Thanks for this video man this has been enlightening. Gotta get him watching some sesame street and magic school bus now. Hahaha
How.... Could you watch this shit with your own eyes and not notice it has no educational value.........
Just avoid the Salmon episode
@@Princess.McBetch because he probably wasn't watching it
@@Princess.McBetch I mean of course I noticed that but I didnt know that ryan wasnt picking these toys because he liked them but that it was paid sponsorship. Also doesnt help that I'm not actively watching the videos with my girls kid he watches them while I'm playing video games or stuff like that yanno.
What a good boyfriend, wanting to show this kid that they have more value than being an advertisement sponge. I wish we could make old shows look HD, because I'd watch wayyy more Mr. Roger's if it was clearer. Anyways, have a good one! :)
i’m interested to see how ryan grows up, especially his teen-early twenties- the angsty years
imagine if steven universe was just a paid ad for a jewelry company
Okay that would make a lot of sense
**sad DOVE noises**
Inside my Gaping Bumhole I think the DOVE thing is more of a publicity stunt rather than direct marketing. Amethyst doesn’t eat soap and say how smooth it is.
@@clipsotrips6657 I ha your username so much
It's already a big ad for homosexuality
I appreciate that you're advocating for the dignity and spiritual/emotional health of the child, while recognizing that he's not developed enough to understand what's happening and can't really consent to these representations of himself. Children's health seems to be getting thrown under the bus in the age of the internet.

i’m really curious to see in like 10 years, 2029, when this kid is 18. like i wonder what he’s gonna be up too, and like his opinion on all this
Probably like the Paul bros?
Yeah, if he even makes it to that age
I know it probably won't happen, but i really hope he sues both his parents and the rest of the company
Remember when Jake Loydd nearly died in a multi-car police chase across several counties. Pretty much that I think
Lots of therapy

That Carl's Jr. thing made me think of Idiocracy when the lady couldn't get the burger out of the machine and it was the last of her money and then the machine says: "you are an unfit mother. Your child is now in the custody of Carl's Jr."

I wonder if RDJ actually knows what he’s investing in? Or is it just like his advisory board or executives that he employs to regulate his investment money? I need someone to ask him, like right now. I really don’t want this to become another GOOP™️ situation like Gwenyth Paltrow or another “threaten to kill my family, including my kids wife and myself, and constantly abuse them lol” like with Jeremy Renner. It makes a lot more sense that RDJ has a TH-cam Original show now...
wtf is wrong with humanity
It’s likely a team of people that invest for him and just saw dollar signs, while investing in this can be seen as bad, I can understand why they would invest, if it makes money and it’s legal then why not, it’s all about money.
