Jacob Roloff has always been the odd duck in the Roloff family. Even when he was a kid on Little People Big World, he didn’t play with his siblings and spent time with himself. Now that all of them have quit LPBW, they aren’t on good terms either. Most of it has to do with their different political ideologies. Hence, Jacob often takes a dig at his in-laws and brothers due to this very reason.
While Jacob’s family leans to the far left, Jeremy and Zach’s families are right-leaning. Apart from this, he has also voiced his concerns about young kids being exploited by the media. He is at the opposite end of this perception, too, as his sisters-in-law Audrey and Tori often make many posts featuring their kids. It seems like he took a dig at them for this reason again!

Since then, he has been against people featuring children on reality shows or exposing them to social media. He and his wife Isabel also take measures to keep their child, Mateo’s face, away from the cameras and social media.
But Jacob’s sisters-in-law Audrey and Tori have made a career out of putting their kid’s faces on their Instagram and the show. It is their source of livelihood as they are social media influencers. Well, the former decided to take a dig at them by sharing details about a new amendment in Illinois Child Labor laws. It said Influencer families will be required to put 15% of their total earnings from monetary videos featuring their kids in their bank accounts.
Without saying much, Jacob simply wrote: “too low.” Many LPBW fans discussed this on Reddit. Others suggested that Audrey and Tori may come up with loopholes to stop their kids from making mone. They might do so by only sharing content that features themselves. Others found it too sad that they were using their kids’ obviousness and innocence to make money.
