[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope GOMI is proud of itself for pursuing and mocking this lady.  Remember how mad GOMI was 10 years ago that MOMS were making money off the INTERNET by telling their STORIES about raising their children?!  And how awful Alice thought it was that women were asking readers for donations, and then Alice asked her readers for donations (and got them, while also policing their website emails and deleting the accounts of people who wrote bad things about her - I was never a member but that's what I saw on reddit)?

Please don't read GOMI and don't support Alice.  Follow or don't follow who you want, but don't subscribe to the culture of women knocking down other women just for sport and some lols.[/quote]

NP. I think it’s okay to be critical of parents making their living off of sharing every single private moment of their children’s lives on the internet.[/quote]

This. They also target vulnerable people with their "ads" which many influencers don't even disclose and I think she was one of the incredibly high earners doing this. I wish her well. I only occasionally read GOMI-found some on there a bit too much. We do need to discuss and expose the exploitation of children of bloggers. If she was simply a private mommy blogger with a private account not profiting off this stuff, then it would be truly terrible to criticize. She was a public figure profiting off her children and sell, sell, selling. I wish the family peace and love. It is sad whatever happened. People who question the ethics of all this mommy blogging for profit are not responsible for her death and it's disturbing to imply we must never criticize or expose people profiting in concerning ways because that person might get depressed. She has struggled her whole life long before anyone said children need to be protected.[/quote]

Ha, GOMI is *not* just criticizing her for profiting off her kids. There are a lot of people building a movement for kids of vloggers to have some rights and build awareness of how much it can mess them up. It is thanks to the efforts of those people that we are going to see improvement in this situation. All that GOMI woman did was create a terrible website for people to anonymously hate. [/quote]
