I don't agree with this in all cases.
True, parents usually have a deeply ingrained emotional need to protect and nurture their children but:
- Not all parents do. Narcissists have children all the time. When they do, they cloak their emotional vampirism in 'love' like they do in all relationships.
- Even parents with the best intentions have to work HARD not to pass on their generational traumas, abuses, and bad habits.
- Only the child can truly know what will fulfill them as a person. Parents often substitute what they wanted for their younger selves for the child's best interest.
For those still thinking I have no idea what I am talking about and you and your parents are different... please look into "enmeshment" for your own sake
Not an advertiser but they generally know % of views ("impressions") to clicks (called click through rate) and percentage of clicks that turn into sales (called conversion rate).
For that reason, I don't think they're trying to get rid of human users completely, just the "troublemakers".
I think they want to lead the "silent majority" users into a bot advertorial content hellscape where they control all the levers of power and everything is for sale.
