Why are people continuing to have kids when there is no worthwhile future?

There is no hope.

They do not care about their children sufference in the future, especially in case of past family trauma

Why?
Because people have been doing that since the beginning of days. It's an instinct.

If it's a good idea is another question.

They know how much suffering life offers, yet choose to do so anyway. They choose to have kids because of their own desires. The desire to have a child, to care for a small human and to be praised as a parent for doing even the bare minimum for their child. Many couples also think their toxic relationship will get fixed by having a baby.
There's also those that get pressured into having one, because having kids is "normal" and "everyone has them".

Because some people are so incredibly delusional, I mean they must be in order to see it as being an acceptable and justifiable thing to bring life here, I think that a lot of them are driven by extreme selfishness as well, if one was really a caring person then they wouldn't create unnecessary suffering by bringing life here.

I think that to procreate is such an incredibly cruel thing to do, nobody who is not yet existing deserves to be burdened with something so hellish and futile as having the ability to exist in this harmful world that is filled with risks and the potential to suffer so extremely. The non existent should just be left alone in peace, it's tragic how people continue to bring life here.

Because it is the only way to make the future worthwhile. And the passing of the centuries only confirms this trend, there are more and more people who enjoy being alive although there will still be people like us who will suffer and suffer, but there are fewer and fewer of us and that is good. It is only a matter of thinking of the common good and not of ourselves.

Perquè és l'única manera d'aconseguir que el futur valgui la pena. I el pas dels segles només fa que confirmar aquesta tendència, cada cop són més les persones que gaudeixen de estar vives tot i que encara hi haurà persones com nosaltres que patiràn i patiràn, però cada cop sóm menys i això és bò. Només es tracta de pensar en el bé comú i no en nosaltres mateixos.

First off love your pfp, there's nothing wrong with having kids. It can help the parents maybe if they r struggling mentally and have a reason to live, they want the best for their kid. Let people do them and u do u, simple :)

Did you see the super Mario movie?
Having kids isn't like raising a fish. There are consequences. The kid eventually grows up and has to live in a failing world. That's wrong.

Yes I did see the movie. But not everyone sees the world like that

Cause they only think of the "positive" aspects of having children. And probably to feel better.

Evolutionary programming and a lack of self awareness.

I wish more people would opt for adopting over biological considering the obvious need for it.
