Hmmm.... Could this be a coincidence??
I just saw this same question while scrolling online.

My take on this; I don't think it's totally wrong using your kids for content, it all depends on why and how they do it.
I know a number of content creators that basically post about moments with their family (kids), this things they post most times can be meaningful.

But I think where I have a problem with this is when parents post those embarrassing and vulnerable moments of these kids, some go as far as putting there weaknesses out there, knowing fully well that the kids have no say, I see the ones that do this like they're just using them as a source of income, and you know there's a thing about social media it "doesn't forget" the child will definitely grow up to see this and this can cause "dwindling mental health".

For me using kids for content isn't bad at all, in as much as parents protect this kids from embarrassment, doing it responsibly by not sharing vital information that has to do with privacy and safety, like school, route to school, home address and others. Yess...

All they should do is to prioritize the safety and comfort of these kids over the engagement and money involved.
