Why it worked
The video resonates because it taps into a common, often unspoken, experience of parents navigating social media and the desire to share their children's lives while also protecting their privacy. The speaker's thoughtful reflection and relatable personal anecdotes likely connect with viewers who grapple with similar questions about online presence and connection.
Summary
The speaker discusses an article from The Cut titled "My Daughter, Bagelface" which explores the reasons behind posting about children online. She reflects on the author's perspective that posting is a bid for connection and a desire to be known, rather than just a performance. The speaker agrees with the idea that sharing these moments is a good instinct, even if it involves a degree of performance.

Original caption
Obvi the big element I didn’t discuss was around consent, like the kid can’t consent to being portrayed at all. I’m still trying to sift through my thoughts on this but I think I don’t fall so strictly on the binary of “emojis over the face are the same thing as just posting their full face” or “an emoji over the face just means you want to perform happy family and it’s all a farce.” Like I think there’s a reality like I said in the video that we have this instinct to share, and that to not post loved ones that we care about maybe for some people feels…dishonest or myopic or something. Maybe there’s something also around how big your platform is, like posting on a private IG of people who know you is obvi v different than posting to hundreds of thousands of followers on a public page. Idk..what do you all think? #posting #online #socialmedia #kids #thecut
