Edit 1: I am confused about the reason not a single popular YouTube channel is covering this.

      Wait until you find out about the child labour stuff.

      There may not be sweatshops in the developed world, but you can bet your ass a lot of roblox “dev studios” are really just one or two adults, exploiting a bunch of kids for free labour via discord.

      Oh, and then there’s the fully integrated speculative market for assets and cosmetics, where ten-year-olds gain and lose thousands of real dollars in robux.

      The ecosystem around Roblox is a complete shitshow that no sane parent should allow a kid anywhere near.
