In this episode of “The Trend,” Editor-in-Chief Brynn Krug and Managing Editor Sarah Rose discuss the exploitation of child stars on TikTok.
They discuss the upcoming Netflix documentary “Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing,” focused on Piper Rockelle and “The Squad.” With the rise of child influencers and family vloggers it is important to prioritize children’s safety. Unfortunately, parents of these stars often neglect their safety for monetary gain.
Krug and Rose also discuss the recent controversy where an American influencer took a baby wombat from its mother in Australia. This viral video received plenty of backlash for its apathetic attitude toward the animal’s safety.
On this pop-culture podcast, Krug and Rose discuss trending pop culture topics. At the end of every episode, they decide whether the topics are “in or out” and rank them from worst to best.
