Problem is how do you get these people that are addicted to social media to stop posting the kids? Lots of parents see having a kid as the posting goldmine and all they want to do is post them so everyone thinks they have a cute kid or grandkid.
I've tried to stop people in my life from doing it and they just don't get it. They look at me like I am crazy. I understand the dopamine hit, but it's not innocent like in the 2010s. I think until these people see what can actually be created with an innocent photo, they will never stop.
Unfortunately some peoples whole lives are posting and they won't accept reality.
I had to literally beg and plead with my mom to stop posting pictures of me without permission. She didnt stop until i was like 23 or 24
