Who even watches channels like 8 Passengers and DaddyOFive? (beehaw.org)

It seems like I'm always hearing about family vloggers getting put away for child abuse. I'm not into family vlogging, so maybe I'm wrong, but people always make it sound like these two channels were popular.

But then they go on to describe their videos, and it's always parents doing insane shit to make the kids cry on purpose, or announcing on camera that they're withholding necessities from the kids or something. I've never heard anyone say they like these videos, and I can't imagine why they would, so then how were they supposedly popular?

Be glad. I sadly have heard of them and know what abuse the kids went through (especially 8Passengers/Ruby Franke, but DaddyOFive is very bad too)
