Internet Moms

Working on my YouTube Channel, Lisa Figge@lisafigge5984. Looking for my niche. I have had several other channels I have been experimenting with over the years, and nothing ever came of them. Anyway, I am sneaking up on my niche. Between this wheelchair and trying to make a useful Youtube channel, I’m unsure what kills me first. I’ll get to the stories that are mine soon. Promise. However, in this interlude, I am learning to make thumbnails, another diversion from writing what is in my heart.

  1. AI is a big new thing in the world.
  2. Being a mom has been my best and hardest role.
  3. This disability of mine isn’t as difficult as it once was.

And so I will begin here…

I asked Bard, Google’s AI experiment, what is an Internet Mom. It responded: An Internet Mom is a social media personality who provides advice and support to their followers, often in a motherly way. They typically offer guidance on various topics, including relationships, mental health, and career advice. Internet Moms are often seen as a source of comfort and support for their followers, and they can play an essential role in building community online.

Some well-known Internet Moms include Chrissy Teigen, known for her candid and relatable posts about motherhood, and Amy Schumer, who often uses her platform to discuss body image and mental health using comedy.

If you’re looking for a supportive and encouraging online community, an Internet Mom might be just what you need.

Then I asked Bard:

Bard, can you name five internet moms with small youtube channels?

Sure, it said. Here are a few Internet Moms with smaller YouTube channels:

  • The Mom Creative is a channel run by two moms who share creative ideas and activities for kids. She has about 10,000 subscribers.
  • The Chaos and the Clutter is a channel run by a mom of four who shares tips on managing a busy household. She has about 5,000 subscribers.
  • The Everyday Mama is a channel run by a mom of three who shares her thoughts on parenting, marriage, and faith. She has about 2,000 subscribers.
  • The Mom Life is a channel run by a mom of two who shares her experiences as a working mom. She has about 1,000
  • MOMables – Laura Fuentes is that internet mom that teaches you to cook simple, family-friendly recipes. Hi, I’m Laura, and on this channel, I share my favourite recipes, kitchen tricks, and meal-planning ideas so you can make delicious meals your family will enjoy. She has 159K subscribers.

These are just a few examples of Internet Moms with smaller YouTube channels. Many other great channels are out there, so explore and find one that resonates with you.

This was an excellent start to my research question what is an internet mom? I’m looking to find my niche for my YouTube channel, and I’m also keen on the idea of internet moms. So I began my search by asking Bard about internet moms. I first heard of internet moms and dads on Scott Adams’s (creator of Dilbert) live stream: Coffee With Scott Adams. He talked about internet dads like Elon Musk, who is fixing the internet starting with Twitter, and this guy, Dad, How Do I? who is teaching how to do things that dad’s know how to do.

I think this is all pretty cool because what the internet needs now is what society needs: stand-up people helping us figure out the good from the not-as-good. What do we want? We want healthy, robust kids growing up in strong, healthy communities. That includes the internet.

There is a lot embedded here. My desire to learn is at the top, and I also enjoy listening to people on YouTube with novel ways of understanding the world. Because I have been alone a lot, I’ve created several other worlds in my mind to inhabit not generally in my best interests. However, I am still here figuring out what is best.

Love, Lisa
