Their house, cars, spoiling Oliver, the animals, the studio, how will they be able to realistically afford the upkeep/demands of these things if YouTube falls?
I doubt many have thought about saving, instead they chose to blow as much as they can on unneccersary rubbish...
If YouTube is going to keep paying these fools I would like to see them change their rules for family vloggers who blatantly exploit their kids for money. A percentage of their earnings should be put aside for the kids of YouTube that their parents won't be able to selfishly access...

This. I really wish that YouTube had the same rules as the rules for child actors Because let's face it, with the scripted BS being put out, a lot of these kids _are_ child actors-- I'm also looking at you, Griffiths sisters! Bribing the kids to say "cute" things, doing multiple takes, etc-- these kids are actors, albeit bad ones. I know that there are ways for parents to get around the rules for child actors, but there's no protection at all for the YT kids. And nobody would be watching just the parents. Would anyone watch Bryan and Missy without Ollie? Or Bonnie or Ruby without their kids? There's no way in hell these people are saving a significant amount of money for their own futures, much less the kids'. They may know that it can't last forever, but they're pretending that's not the case. Ruby is the only one who might be saving, because they're not 100% dependent on YT to pay the mortgage, and they haven't built/bought an extravagant house (yet).
It's not going to change, either, unless some kid gets pissed and sues YT for allowing the exploitation. There will be no point in suing their parents, because they will all be working minimum wage jobs and trying to sell their million subscriber Play Buttons on eBay.
