on the other side, it is very unfortunate, that all we must care about our children personal rights, what if they can not agree later as adults, the Internet is full of their photos, videos? Our parents had no such a dilemma to solve, few decades ago only child actors parents must thougth about this.
Nowadays I explicitly ask my sons's permission before I send a photo from my granddaughter in email even to a friend.Last edited by Gabor; 12-14-2020 at 12:29 PM.

I think it’s a bit of a ‘boomer’ move and I think kids are going to be increasingly taking their parents to task about this type of thing and rightly so.
Sharing pics and vids etc of kids online is a bit of a tricky one, especially if you are proud and want to show off what your kids can do.... but yeah internet mores are still evolving. (yeah I know Rick’s gen X but no one cares about gen X lol)Last edited by christianm77; 12-14-2020 at 06:42 AM.

I'm not going to do it but I have a movie all mapped out. I might do it if it could be knocked out in a year but they take 5 years to make movies. I'd want an art house movie.
It's about a band who decides to rob a bank. It ends abruptly like 'Miss Lonely Hearts' by Nathaniel West. They decide, let's do it, they drive off.
Roll credits...
Isn't everyone a movie producer in California?

Saying Beato uses his kids to promote his YouTube channel is unfair, that had to come from someone that doesn't watch him. You could watch 100 consecutive episodes and not see one of his kids.

If you share stuff, a lot of good things can happen:
- You can get feedback that helps you as a player
- Your content might actually be enjoyed by some people (and never ALL the people) so you're adding value and interest to those people's lives
- You may wind up connecting with people that have similar musical sensibilities as yourself
- It IS possible it can eventually have a significant impact on your musical career. Obviously, your content has to be well received, but you wouldn't know if you didn't try, right? But 'career' stuff isn't important to everybody, and sharing music has value independent of 'career' stuff.
Here are the bad things that can happen:
- You might not get the positive feedback you had hoped for (that's fine, keep playing and trying to improve, and enjoy yourself)
- You will likely get negative feedback, some of it well intentioned and helpful, some of it meaningless stuff from folks who are insecure, petty, or mean...sometimes you get feedback that's helpful and useful even if it was delivered in a harsh way.
- Maybe some people who don't like your playing will be upset at hearing you play. (So what?)
Seems like a no brainer to me; if you're on the fence about sharing music, share it. If you don't feel like sharing it, then don't.
If someone doesn't like your playing, they can hit 'stop' and go listen to something else.

To add an item to what jakeAcci said... Recording videos can be a slap in the face for me... In that, I don't sound as good as I thought I did (I don't look very good either, lol). It's a great tool for self-critique and improving your playing.

Just wish those who record would smile once in a while, not look like they’re undergoing torture or dentistry. Get a mirror?
Here’s an interesting (to me) question. What if, in the midst of all the ‘great’, ‘wonderful’, ‘wish I could play like you’ comments on videos here, someone posted real feedback? Like ‘hey there, nice, but you really need to clean up your fingerings’ or ‘are you sure that chord melody sequence works? It sure isn’t voice led.’
Or would it more likely disintegrate into a back and forth war?
Oh, yea I know someone else pleaded this ... no more freakin’ crotch shots in shorts. Please!

Justin Bieber’s net worth $285 Million. Justin’s video “Baby” has 246 million views on YouTube. Now if numbers equal greatness?

Dear Mr Beaumont...................
Thing is Jeff, 'exploiting' his kids ( IF that is what it is ) represents just a fraction of his output.
