I agree about the privacy concerns but I occasionally share funny or nice photos of the kids on Facebook - for the purpose of sharing those pictures with friends and family, and with discussion and consent from them. These are not public posts. Not everyone is seeking a dopamine hit, they are just exposing a part of their personal life to people in their circle. I only have like 150 friends on Facebook, all of whom I know or have known in person.

Ya the article seems to imply that the ONLY reason a parent would be doing this is to get a dopamine hit from "likes". That's just out of touch and asinine. It's perfectly fine to share photos of your children for friends and family to see on Facebook. Of course, using your children as content for your own public facing Instagram or TikTok is totally different. But everyone already knows that, and it wouldn't make for a great article that you could get reposted to the front page of Hacker News or whatever other site.
