My younger son was a big fan of Ryan's channel. The family seems to be quite good at what they do. Ryan himself is telegenic, has a boundless reservoir of enthusiasm, and his parents seem reasonably careful at not excessively exploiting him (not having him do too many videos, and responsibly managing his money). As for the consumerism: Yeah, it's absolutely blatant, but so is much of the media content for children in general. Ryan videos are a good teachable moment to discuss this (What do you think happens with all the toys the next day? etc.)
