My friend's kid got famous for a silly dance, now she's being offered brand deals

My friend's 8-year-old daughter did a funny dance in a grocery store in Toledo last month, her mom posted it, and it blew up with over 2 million views. Now a few small brands are offering her free stuff for posts. My friend is torn between saying yes to the free toys and clothes, or saying no to keep it just a fun family memory. She's worried about turning her kid into a product. Has anyone seen a family handle this kind of sudden attention well?

Read about a family that only did one deal then deleted the account.

Wait, they deleted the whole account after just one deal? That's so extreme, it makes the whole thing seem way more intense than just a side hustle. Really makes you wonder what went down.

Used to think it was harmless, but saw a neighbor's kid burn out from the pressure.
