Muhammad Shiraz, the 12-year-old Pakistani kid vlogger who rose to fame with his daily village vlogs, has announced that he is quitting daily vlogging.
Shiraz, who hails from Baltistan, had gained a massive following of 1.58 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, Shirazi Village Vlogs.
In a recent vlog, Shiraz's father explained that his son's decision to quit vlogging was due to two main reasons. Firstly, Shiraz's newfound fame had changed his personality, and he was no longer the same obedient and charming boy he used to be.
His father noticed that he was not interacting with his friends and family with the same attitude as before, and this was a side effect of being a social media star.
Secondly, Shiraz's studies were suffering due to the demands of daily vlogging. His father said that managing his Twitter account and creating content for his YouTube channel was taking a toll on his education.
Shiraz's father also expressed his gratitude to their fans for the immense love and respect they had shown to their family. He said that their purpose for joining social media was to do welfare work for the poor people in their distant village, which requires a lot of facilities.
While fans are still urging Shiraz to continue vlogging, many have praised his father's decision, saying that it's essential for Shiraz to focus on his studies and maintain a balanced life. Some fans have also commended Shiraz's father for his responsible parenting, saying that he has not forgotten his roots and is working on his kids' attitude.
The news has sparked a debate about the impact of social media on children's lives, with many agreeing that it's crucial for parents to monitor their children's online activities and ensure that they maintain a healthy balance between their online and offline lives.
