If she cares enough, she'll find a way to do it without parental support, just like all the original youtube celebrities.

Well you could buy a webcam. Though she'll have to wait until she's 13, since Youtube (like Gamefaqs) requires you to be 13 years old to have an account.

this is actually a fairly common "dream" for little girls from what I've seen

one of my best friends has two daughters who are around the same age as yours and they're both obsessed with finding some way to become famous on YouTube as well

Yeah, I don't think it's that different than dreaming of becoming a TV or movie star.

Off-topic question: I'm pretty sure most popular YouTubers target a (much) younger demographic. Any guesses as to who might be the most popular YouTuber with average viewers in their 30s or older?

One of the DBS reactors I follow does reactions with her 10 year-old sister. They posted their latest reaction either yesterday or today, and her eleventh birthday was either today or will be tomorrow.

Eli Sisters is the account. Maybe check one or two of their vids so you could maybe see what it could be like?

Oh FFS, I'll buy you a cheap webcam if you are concerned about the $10 cost.

On the dream bit...I mean, I remember telling my parents that I'd grow up to make videogames. They didn't believe this could be a real career, and then I grew up and have been working in games for 13 years. So...yeah, just encourage her.

Start talking about boring behind the scenes details, like how streamers on twitch do better when they stream consistently at the same time each day, how it helps to network with other streamers and send each other videos, how these services offer metrics after the stream is over. I don't exactly know youtubers, but I do know someone who got somewhat big on twitch, and then went from there to working at Blizzard.

Limit her to 20 minutes of youtube per day, and when she gets upset, tell her to get her ass outside and play in the yard. Assuming there is a yard.

I'm kinda joking but not really.

Oh, also, if she does start uploading youtube videos at a young age, disable comments on the video.

(I follow a lot of youtube musicians, and yeah, any girls under the age of like 15, always, always comments seem to be disabled on the video; there's probably a good reason for that).

I think this is great advice.

One way to know if someone is serious about their dream job is if they want to deal with the less exciting parts of it as well.

I'm of the opinion that there aren't many good reasons to want fame. Greatness that leads to fame, sure. But not fame itself.

It's still totally normal and someone most young people want. I know I did. But I think it comes from insecurity and I wouldn't encourage it, personally.

If she has some great idea that she wants to share with everyone, go for it.
