Hey, so in this episode of ‘Real Talk: Authenticity on Social Media’. We, Barbara and Lara, get into the whole family vlogger thing, zeroing in on the LaBrant Family. This family is huge online, but there’s a lot of debate about whether they’re for real or if it’s all just for show. We talk about some pretty questionable stuff, like those clickbait thumbnails the LaBrants use (remember that cancer scare video?) and how putting their kids’ lives all over the internet might not be in the children’s best interest. It’s crazy how the line between what’s real and what’s just for views gets super blurry. We also dig into what being authentic actually means when you’re living your life online. Is it even possible to be 100% real when you’re always on camera? We also get into why this matters – not just for the people making the videos, but for all of us watching too. It’s a pretty eye-opening convo that hopefully makes you think twice about all that picture-perfect stuff you see on social media. Like, is any of it actually real, or are we all just buying into a carefully crafted image?
