When 16-year-old Shreya Nallamothu from Normal, Illinois, scrolled through social media platforms to pass time during the pandemic, she became increasingly frustrated with the number of children she saw featured in family vlogs.

She recalled the many home videos her parents filmed of herself and her sister over the years: taking their first steps, going to school and other “embarrassing stuff.”

“I’m so glad those videos stayed in the family,” she said. “It made me realize family vlogging is putting very private and intimate moments onto the internet.”

So posting all this "embarrassing stuff" on the Internet is OK as long as the kid(s) get their cut.

And based on the percentages mentioned, what about if you have a bunch of kids?

Are the parents and children now eligible for a SAG card?
