When former mommy vlogger Sharon first found Joshua Barbour on YouTube, she was thrilled.
She’d been observing the world of family influencers since 2013, when she’d started to vlog about her experiences as a teen mother. (She had her first child at the age of 18.) Although she gave up her YouTube career to focus on the real world for three years, she had never really stopped watching others in the community. It seemed that Barbour had been watching too, and they shared many of the same views.
