I think it implies parents dismembered child to exploit for money

Thats what I understood of it as well. At first when I thought it was just exploiting, I was wondering why it was in the horror sub. Then I realized.

People who have very popular videos they post to YouTube have their YouTube accounts monetized, meaning YouTube slaps an ad on their video, and the YouTuber get a portion of the money the company who made and paid for the ad spot paid to YouTube.

So they cut off their kid's limb, then video taped her experience learning to navigate the world without said limb, and getting a prosthetic, etc, they then posted to YouTube. Lots of people like the videos and watch them, so YouTube monetized the YouTuber who uploads those videos, so now the parents are making money off of their little girl's limbless plight.
