I added the section “Child Social Media Advertising” to include information about Ryan’s ToyReview, a YouTube channel created to review toys by a child, Ryan Kaji. I added basic information such as, the year the channel was created and who started it to emphasize that it was the boy’s parents, Shion and Leon Kaji who created the YouTube channel. Contradicting the fact that they make it appear to be all their son’s idea. I also added how many subscribers and views the boys channel has. The large numbers explain that advertising in social media is greatly increasing. Many large companies are realizing that social media platforms like YouTube are more commonly used than cable television or newspapers. Walmart amongst many other corporate organizations have begun to “sponsor” Ryan ToyReviews by sending him free merchandise to review on his show. The fact that these companies reached out to him to “review” is resulting in a biased review of the toys. Viewers are not receiving authentic reviews due to corporate companies taking advantage of child advertising.
