Anyone that films their child for content is exploiting them. You don't get to use the "I film my kids because I want to document their lives so the family can enjoy them" cop-out. If you're posting them you are looking for it to blow up in some capacity; you are well aware of potential viewers that will find your videos. You just don't care because you want the views and the cheap potential dopamine or monetary benefit it might bring you.

Explain the reasoning? Why can’t they use that “cop-out” when that is the reason many times?

it's explained immediately after... record and watch whenever you want your own documentation, but posting it publicly gives away the real reason you're doing it

Clearly nobody here grew up using Facebook as a digital photo album, lol. Nowadays, things are scarier with AI, but I used to always put stuff on Facebook to save space in my phone.

you can mark stuff as private on facebook, so only you or the people you took the pictures of can see it

only in recent years does facebook even prevent people from stalking you before adding you

there is absolutely no reason to have everything public, especially of your kids who cant consent to that publicity in the first place

We're way past that era.
