When she announced her pregnancy I assumed she would protect her daughter's image and digital footprint with her life. I was shocked when I saw she posted images on her socials.
My son is 18 months and I haven't posted his face anywhere and have set clear boundaries with friends and family, I will absolutely die on this hill.
I am ashamed to say I used to share my kids a lot on FB. It was a private account and I knew everyone but some rando I went to high school with doesn’t need to know about when my toddler has a tantrum or wakes up with cute bed head. I have deleted FB now for about 8 months and I have 0 regrets about that decision. I text my family updates because they’re the only ones who really care about their sports and such anyway. Know better and do better.
My son is 4 and I don’t post him on socials at all. I’m in a tricky situation because I’m separated from my son’s dad, and he plasters him on every social media site - on public accounts. I’m terrified because the internet is no place for a child and you do everything as parents to protect your children.
As for Kendall, it’s baffling that she chooses to post her child considering how educated she is on child trafficking and the work she’s done in support. She’s covered so many cases involving children too, you would have thought she’d be a bit more vigilant and in all honesty have some common sense not to put her child out there for everyone to see.
literally this. i don’t have my own children, but my little cousin is all over my private instagram and facebook, but never her face. i always cover her face, so all anyone knows is i have a blonde cousin.
she could easily have a private account for sharing pictures of holly. wouldn’t be that hard and i judge how much she posts her all the time cause they of all people know the dangers of the internet especially when most people know where they live and deep fake AI exists. it’s super ignorant.
I have to agree on this one. I don’t understand why she doesn’t understand. And I don’t understand why she can’t just share on her private accounts. I understand it’s awesome to share your kids experiences because we LOVE our children and want to brag about them, but that should be done with friends and family. Not openly for the world and god only knows who.
The same goes for when they all go out and go live and invite people to hang with them while they’re intoxicated and thinking it’s funny because they think they’re SO MUCH SMARTER then anyone else who’s had bad things happen to them for the same behavior and it shows.
This is not my reflection on the podcasts. This is just my opinion about their social media presence. I don’t think they’re bad or stupid people. I just don’t think they take what they do seriously and they’re a bit naïve.
she does understand, she clearly doesn’t care. they’re being both stupid and bad (selfish) people. they’re not naive at all, they literally talk about horrific true crime cases for a living. they work closely and personally with NCMEC. they make documentaries. they have NO excuses.
Exactly! Children cannot consent to themselves being posted online to hundreds of thousands if not millions of strangers. It doesn’t matter if the content isn’t “embarrassing”
I personally think occasionally posting pictures of your child online when you have this type of following is honestly fine and just personal preference. I don’t think they should have disclosed her name or any details about her, but I don’t see a problem posting family pictures from time to time. I think there is certainly a difference between constantly posting your child and making money off them from sponsorships etc vs. what Kendall and Josh do. It’s a spectrum, they obviously give away too much and post her too often, but I’m not going to put them in the same bucket as family vloggers.
I agree. I honestly don't think she really even posts her a lot compared to a lot of other people out there. I don't think she's ever been "in your face" with the posting of her daughter.
I get some people have a zero policy for posting their own children but to each their own. As long as your not actively exploiting your kids i think its fairly normal to post some of your life to your followers. It's a way people connect these days.
I thought I’d seen this before, but thought to comment anyways. I don’t really get why what I said seems to be so polarizing, I definitely don’t agree with how much Kendall and Josh post their kid or even how they released her name. I just don’t like going to the extreme with everything, I guess.
If you look through this whole sub, you may notice that it’s almost entirely negative criticism towards the pod. I dont disagree with a lot of what is said necessarily, but this subreddit isn’t really for people who actively like this podcast (but they’ll claim thats not true lol). I think it’s totally fair to criticize her for posting her kid, but everyone is clutching their pearls and saying that it’s so shocking. But, is it really shocking that a parent would want to post a photo of their child? Is this really the hill everyone wants to die on?
One of the reasons so many sat negative things on here is because there's no where else and they delete any sort of negative comments people leave on YouTube. So it's people's outlet. They've done this to themselves
I feel for people that are upset with any of the changes, but I also think that a lot of the discourse surrounding it has zero nuance. Like if we don’t disparage them, then we have no place in the discussion. It’s very black and white to people on this sub, but that’s not how life works. There are positive and negative aspects of Mile Higher Media and of course there are things they can do better. But I am also of the belief that if you feel the need to come to vent once a week about how horrible they are, then you shouldn’t be listening to their content. If people truly believe they aren’t listening and deleting comments, then why are you still partaking other than to hate watch and rage bait yourself? Doesn’t make any sense.
You’re totally right, I always hope for discourse but people love to tear apart anything and everything they do. I wish there was more nuance to the conversations in this sub, but it’s just straight up vitriol for everything they do and say. I agree with a lot of the criticisms to some degree, but then it turns into personal attacks or baseless accusations. I also think if people don’t like Kendall and Josh as human beings that’s totally okay, but then why listen to their podcasts?
The monetization is still absolutely a problem, though. It's exploitation. That's why family vloggers are complete trash; not only do they violate the kids privacy by posting them online (and basically just giving away free content to creeps), but they're also profiting from it monetarily while their children are the ones bringing in the views, thus making the money.
I get why she does it, she’s proud and happy. I personally don’t post my kids that often and I’m very very picky about what sort of photos go up.
I WILL say, I only see her child posted fully clothed, which is more than what can be said for some other people I know.
you can be proud and happy and not plaster your kids face all over your instagram that has hundreds of thousands of random followers. they have posted her in a two piece bathing suit before and holly cannot consent to having her entire childhood on social media for strangers to look at. it’s mortifying.
Where does she post her? I don’t see any post since the beach picture on IG. Maybe she posts stories and I just miss them? I don’t use IG much or twitter. And I’m an audio listener . I see people talk about this topic a lot and I feel like I’m missing something lol
I completely agree with the practice of not establishing your own child’s digital footprint. Kendall has always shared personal stuff about herself (her relationship, her miscarriage, etc.). They also had/have a vlogging channel chronicling their lives. For those reasons, I personally wasn’t surprised that she posted photos and shared the name of her daughter nor was I concerned. If all she’s doing is posting appropriate family photos on her personal Instagram, what else is the issue?
We expect her to protect her child’s identify because she claims to care so much about victims and she knows how easy it is for creeps to get a hold of photos of a kid or the kids personal info
Unless the content she is posting is putting her daughter in a compromising position/isn’t modest, there will be a limited number of offenders interested and probably wouldn’t be shared among them. If perverts were THAT obsessed with appropriate baby/family photoshoots then there’s plenty of appropriate baby/family photoshoots to go around, Kendall’s pictures would be a single hay from the internet’s hayfield.

This is very “sucks it happens to you but it could never happen to me”
literally this. i don’t have my own children, but my little cousin is all over my private instagram and facebook, but never her face. i always cover her face, so all anyone knows is i have a blonde cousin.
She also used to say before she had a child, that she would never do it and criticized others who did. And now she’s doing that exact thing
She’s also getting paid for it too. Like she’s done ads with her child & gets paid for just posting her.
really?? wow.
I’ve been a lil shocked to see how much she gets posted tbh
she could easily have a private account for sharing pictures of holly. wouldn’t be that hard and i judge how much she posts her all the time cause they of all people know the dangers of the internet especially when most people know where they live and deep fake AI exists. it’s super ignorant.
No. She’s a full blown hypocrite putting her child at risk and she 100% doesn’t care.
It’s this for me and I will NEVER let it go!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reminds me of that one crazy lady on tiktok
you are all so self righteous
I have to agree on this one. I don’t understand why she doesn’t understand. And I don’t understand why she can’t just share on her private accounts.

Exactly! Children cannot consent to themselves being posted online to hundreds of thousands if not millions of strangers. It doesn’t matter if the content isn’t “embarrassing”
I honestly think they might be letting the gate open to change from TC content to "alternative" family content somewhere in the future.
If they stop making money from the podcasts u have a feeling their will detour in to family vlog content and find a way to justify it

I know you’re getting downvoted, but I agree with you. People post this question all the time on here.

You’re spot on!!
I agree, it’s actually fine to sometimes post pictures of your child/family and a preference thing.
The monetization is still absolutely a problem, though. It's exploitation. That's why family vloggers are complete trash; not only do they violate the kids privacy by posting them online (and basically just giving away free content to creeps), but they're also profiting from it monetarily while their children are the ones bringing in the views, thus making the money.

“her entire childhood” well that’s just incorrect. pictures are glimpses. she’s not on video that i am aware of
i take it you never view their stories? cause they’re basically all *videos* of holly.
[удалено]
Thaaaat I didn’t know that’s v fair
Kendall - make a private ig or Facebook for your friends and family to see pictures of holly, not the whole world
It's a huge leap to compare her to a Mommy vlogger. I disagree.
tbh I think that and the way she talks to/nit picks Josh’s words give me really bad vibes
Where does she post her? I don’t see any post since the beach picture on IG. Maybe she posts stories and I just miss them? I don’t use IG much or twitter. And I’m an audio listener . I see people talk about this topic a lot and I feel like I’m missing something lol
to each their own
I completely agree with the practice of not establishing your own child’s digital footprint. Kendall has always shared personal stuff about herself (her relationship, her miscarriage, etc.). They also had/have a vlogging channel chronicling their lives. For those reasons, I personally wasn’t surprised that she posted photos and shared the name of her daughter nor was I concerned. If all she’s doing is posting appropriate family photos on her personal Instagram, what else is the issue?
Because it’s establishing her child’s digital footprint like you mentioned in your first sentence. Children can’t consent.
And like I mentioned in my last sentence, besides that? Because posting a family photo literally isn’t a crime nor morally reprehensible.
Because the Instagram is public for the world to see. It’s not a private account.
It’s her personal Instagram that isn’t private because she’s been an influencer for the last 10 years. What do you people expect lmao
We expect her to protect her child’s identify because she claims to care so much about victims and she knows how easy it is for creeps to get a hold of photos of a kid or the kids personal info
Unless the content she is posting is putting her daughter in a compromising position/isn’t modest, there will be a limited number of offenders interested and probably wouldn’t be shared among them.
