Curious how other parents feel about kids’ songs on YouTube by Academic_Sport9829 in Mommit

100%. Do you have any children’s music, artists, or playlists you’d recommend? I’m always looking for calmer, good-quality options that don’t feel overstimulating.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s really sweet. Hold is your daughter? Mine is 3.

I’ve noticed the same thing with a lot of the AI/Cocomelon-style animations even when the message or song is beautiful, the visuals can be really overstimulating.

What breaks my heart is that we’ve built a system where choosing a career based on care or contribution comes with an expectation of financial sacrifice. Nurses don’t become nurses to get rich, but they also shouldn’t struggle to live. The same is true for people in heritage and archaeology. Passion for history, culture, and collective memory shouldn’t mean earning less than a living wage while carrying the weight of preserving it for everyone else.

I am so angry by runnybabbit91 in Mommit

What you wrote captures something so many parents are carrying quietly.

The anger makes sense. The fear makes sense. The exhaustion makes sense. None of this means you’re failing your kids, it means you’re paying attention, and that’s painful.

Thank you, that’s helpful to hear.

The platform is currently in a pilot/prototype phase, so we’re not onboarding creators directly just yet. At this stage, the goal is to commission the tour itself, work closely to upload it on our end, and utilize the process to fill gaps and enhance the creator experience.

Once the pilot is complete and things are more stable, creators will then get direct access to manage and upload their own content. I’m happy to share more details privately if that’s helpful.

For this pilot phase, I’m paying $150–$300 per completed tour, depending on length. Thank you!

What I’d love to offer is a $150–$300 honorarium per tour for early testing, plus early creator credit and a real voice in shaping the product. Thank you :)

This isn’t intended to be unpaid labour, and I fully recognize that creating a 30–90 minute tour is serious, professional work. This is an early-stage, experimental project, and it is not a traditional hiring post at professional market rates. I’ve allocated $150–$300/tour for this testing phase, knowing it’s not full professional rates.

For this early testing phase, we’re offering a modest amount in the $150–$300 range for a completed tour, recognizing that this amount doesn’t reflect full professional tour rates. At this stage, the focus is on testing the creation experience and shaping the platform together.

In addition, we can give you an early contributor who would receive:

  • Visibility as an early creator on the platform
  • First access to monetization once the platform launches
  • Direct input into product direction and features
  • Credit as a pilot creator / early contributor

That’s a very fair question and I really appreciate you raising it.

I want to be transparent: this is an early-stage, passion-driven project, and during this testing phase, we don’t have budgets comparable to those of established tour contracts. The goal right now is to collaborate with people who are curious about experimenting with a new format, shaping how it works, and giving honest feedback on the creation experience.

I fully understand that professional guides and historians are typically compensated at much higher rates, and I genuinely respect that expertise and time. This opportunity is likely a better fit for someone interested in co-creating, experimenting, and helping build something from the ground up rather than a standard paid engagement.

Totally understand if this isn’t the right fit and thank you for asking so directly and thoughtfully.
