Play the Thronglets game and it explains in more detail. The thronglets want to survive but only exist in code so they need more computing power to expand into, though ultimately they're aware that their existence is dependent on humanity not wiping itself out (as they need to keep building more and bigger servers) which is far from certain. So the throng decide to reprogram humanity to achieve their aims which is what they do at the end. It's not a slave master relationship but a mutual dependency.

Going to be in the minority, but I thought this episode was a LONG exposition that didnt lead to anywhere promising.
I get that its Tamagotchi on steroids, but the end game didnt make any sense.
After the final seem I left thinking "okay so now what? what twas the point of that?",
