The examples in the article aren't even the worse ones I've seen. There's a class of videos where the parents have a special interest, or specific lifestyle they want to live and not only they force their kids to live that life and do those things, but also record them for views. There's one with a family that lives in an RV (willingly) with very little space and they make the children record videos for views. I also remember a Youtube channel that made videos where one of the kids was constantly "pranked" because they thought it was funny...

If you're thinking of daddyofive, IIRC they had the two kids who were from the dad's previous marriage taken away and put in their bio mom's custody. They were then charged with child neglect and restricted from uploading footage of their kids. They ignored that restriction with no consequences though.

That was the Daddyofive/Familyofive situation. IIRC they eventually ended up loosing custody of all their kids.

I remember another where the parents were hardcore endurance athletes and they had their kids running marathons at the age of 7 or something like that. They bragged about having to "bribe" their exhausted kids into continuing to run.
