This place CAN be dangerous, but it is not for the average player. that is, it still does happen. Thank you for this video, and thank you for bringing situations like this to light.

      10 months late, but safety tip: Never explicitly say your age online, if you can help it. It makes it easier to pick out and target kids. Not saying YOU are an "easy target", but like, every child/teen carelessly gives away their age bc they don't realize that any info can be dangerous, which sucks, but normalizing not giving that away so easily helps. (Sorry if I worded that awkwardly or clunkily, I struggle to explain/phrase things. Cognitive issues.)

    • @thomeg492
      @thomeg492 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      Chiming in to agree with the other commenter, if you are underage, revealing your age online is dangerous! You don't want to give any personal information, especially because stating your age as a minor makes you an immediate target for any weirdo who finds your profile.

Think, imagine throwing away the future of the company you work for into the hands of someone else for $500. If at all from this situation just proves that they’re even more pathetic than before.

    Roblox game dev here, I’m so glad you brought up the problem with being underpaid! Making a Roblox game up to today’s standards for front page quality is not much different from making an indie game on steam, yet it’s not enough to actually make a reliable source of money. A lot of major games I’ve seen require full-time dedication but you’d be better off leaving the platform for another. It’s supposed to be a platform for young developers to hone their skills and get their names out there yet Roblox makes it so difficult to do so. I’m a 20 year old student like most other devs, I need money to survive, I can’t dedicate my time to developing a full fledged game while not receiving the full reward for my efforts.

      In a way, Roblox has gained such a grasp on you that you feel you can't let go unless a breaking point comes or some guardian angel frees you from its grasp. For me personally, as a socially anxious and relatively deep person that dwells more in his thoughts than in the social atmosphere, the fear of losing something as addicting as Roblox was hard to deal with, especially since boredom catches up when you have no means of doing something more entertaining.
      I eventually came to the breaking point when I started to see people around me suffer as a result of my behavior, and the reminder of how short my life is constantly ringing throughout my mind gave me a chance to take, which I used and quit Roblox for a good 5-6 months. Of course, I relapsed as many who suffer from addiction do, but I broke out again and over time, my time-away period from Roblox began to grow in size.
      In the end you either make the choice to wage war against an addiction and realize the impact it has on you and people around you, or continue to fall deeper and feel miserable as the wraith consumes you.

It was so…weird and I am still confused about it.

    Adult who still uses roblox here,I mostly keep playing for nostalgia. Rarely ever use the chat window,and I stay away from public servers. It genuinely hurts to see a company that made such a creative and wonderful platform turn into greedy and scummy suits. Back when I was playing for the first time,roblox actually had soul. People gave a damn and so did the people running the game. Now there’s very little left. Some of Roblox’s past remains,like the old war clans and Of course,longtime creators (at least the ones who aren’t preds),but other than that,it’s changed for the worst. And it frustrates me to no end that they refuse to change again,just because it costs money for them. Makes me even angrier that they let all this creepy shit slide.

      I deliberately play games that allow private server or can do single player. Not because I don't want to play alongside children but because modern multiplayer games on the platform leans way more hard to appeal to children. It's kinda hard pill to swallow that the platform never grew up with their player base and it never will.

      2015 or 2013 are the best year for Roblox to enjoy

    Thank you for bringing all of this up. As much as Roblox can be a fun place to play games (hell I still enjoy playing it from time to time, not as much as I used to but still quite a bit) it can also be very dangerous. I’ve had my fair share of being groomed on that site when I was about 12-13, especially with this one guy who would ask me a bunch of sexual questions in the form of 21 questions and make me go into sexual games with him (this was like 2017 or 2018 so there was a slight spike in nsfw games on Roblox if I’m not wrong), luckily my dad found out and make me block him, I still think about that time every now and again and how gross it was.

    About "Roblox is Stealing from you" part, I totally I agree with you. When the time that Builderclubs have been added. Roblox Outrageous Builderclub basically gives you a lot of Robux. For example, if you bought Outrageous in October First, you'll get 60 Robux daily, if we do the math, 60 times 31 equals 1860. You'll get 1860 Robux. the cost of it is 20 dollars. And what modern Roblox sells for 20 dollars now? 1700 Robux, if you bought the normal one. But it's worth of getting trades and exclusives.

I've got many fond memories of this platform, the games, the people. It's really upsetting seeing the direction this company is going. I really hope that Roblox changes their act soon, because they are killing their own platform and driving away the original player base. They don't even realize it. They're to oblivious and blinded by ignorance, incompetence, and greed... and I'm really not so sure if I should stay aboard this sinking ship of a platform or abandon it.

He really did deserve it too because he was a really decent dev and his game was pretty good too. But sadly it was short lived, because after making around R30k from that game (after the 30% fee) roblox took down his game for absolutely no reason and gave him a warning saying his game was inappropriate, even tho there are wayyyy worse games on roblox and his game had nothing bad In it. This was years ago now and sadly he quit roblox and I have no way to contact him, I’m not sure how he is doing or what happened to him.

    Ive come across two older people who had negative impacts on me in roblox, one when I was 11, one when I was 13. it’s completely unacceptable, luckily I was smart enough to eventually block them both. And although most younger players on the platform have enough common sense to not give such personal info, there is plenty of situations in the world that people dont even realize exist. There is certain games that roblox has the proper “age limit” but there is a lot of work for roblox to go through that is allowing underaged kids to join those games.

    No, but seriously. Chapter one 0:56 is so true! I've been playing it since 2016 and I have CERTAINLY noticed a change. It turned from a fun, light-hearted community into a pay-to-win, online dating, and overall toxic community. Now online dating is nowhere near as criticized, clothing items aren't only 5 Robux, now they're 7-10, and don't get me started on the number of GROWN ADULTS that have criticized children for their AGE. What do you expect them to do? build a time machine and make their parents meet 5+ years earlier? Oh my god don't even get me started on the moderation. I got banned for a week for saying the word "uh no". And my friends wonder why I don't play with them anymore 🤨

      Someone who started playing Roblox in 2007 here and playing it on and off to this day. Late 2000s to early 2010s were, in my opinion, the best years to be playing it. Sure, drama still happened and unfair moderation actions were still around (plus the game itself was clunky back then), but not as bad as it has become now.
      It is disheartening to see a game creation site I grew up with has become such a mess. And it doesn't look like the current corporation will do anything significant to deal with what plagues their product.

    Didn't happen on Roblox, but this is an example of grooming that happened to me.
    I was going through a break-up and chose to vent on Reddit. Unfortunately I put my age in the post at the time cuz it was one of the rules of the subreddit. I was 14. This guy starts messaging me trying to comfort me. He was 32. We became friends, what looked like friends to me at the time, and talked for hours late into the night for maybe two weeks or so.
    When I mentioned my parents and things that bothered me about what they do (my parents are great parents but every kid gets upset with them at some point) he encouraged me to almost stray away from them and what they say. He constantly called me mature for my age and I get that a bit sometimes so I didn't think anything of it. He even set up this card and put $300 on it for me to use. That's what really drew me in because my parents will get me what I want most of the time, but they won't buy things for me willy nilly if it doesn't make any sense or if I don't deserve it.
    My scenario was EXTREMELY lucky because I had mentioned this guy to my best friend cuz I tell her everything. I feel embarrassed to admit it but a part of me was actually starting to fall for him and was close to giving him my ADDRESS by the time I told her. She was skeptical about him. Reasonably so. She couldn't do much sadly, but she did tell me to really reconsider what I was doing and think about the fact that he was most likely grooming me. Just those words alone was enough for me to come back to my senses because the normal me would never even think of telling someone I've only known for two weeks online personal info.
    So I made another quick post on Reddit (on the same subreddit where I first vented ironically) and literally everyone said to block him and run. That and what my friend told me solidified it for me. Ironic that Reddit was a part of what saved me from myself and even the same subreddit, but I give most of the praise to my friend. Without her simple text I don't think I would've started rethinking things at that point. The main point here tho is that the only reason this 32 yr old was able to connect to my 14 yr old self was because I was in a vulnerable position after a break-up and subconsciously looking for something to replace that relationship. Pedophiles will use your vulnerabilities against you and on a platform with kids even younger than I was that most likely has most kids on there than on Reddit? A sickening combination to say the least

Mentally it never affected me too much thankfully since I've already been diagnosed with depression. It might be weird to say but I'm sort of glad it happened. I got a first hand experience of what pedophiles do while grooming so it'd be easier to recognize for myself or anything else. And the guy gave me money in the process... I know now not to accept things like that and enable them, but 14 yr old me was really happy over the games I was able to buy. I still kinda am. I'm a massive gamer but I don't get the ones I really want often.
      I do want to clarify that I ALSOLUTELY DO NOT RECCOMEND continue to talk to a groomer for the things they COULD give you or go our searching for one or something to anyone else reading this. Again, I was EXTREMELY lucky with my friend acting as my guardian angel and I cut him off quickly. The best part about it was the first hand experience of what they do honestly and that's what I mainly think about when I look back at that time.

    Yeah, there was a game called Jujutsu Infinite (based off of Jujutsu Kaisen) they were paying $30 for early access in their discord, and roblox said “You can’t do that” so they made Jujutsu infinite stop having payed early access, so now it averages 30-40 players because people who already payed for it still get access

    This is why Roblox didn't make Flamingo/Albert, Kreekcraft or even Ruben Sim mods.
    They just see everyone as walking cash.
    They don't want to ban whoever makes cash for them.
    And that's why people that SHOULD be banned aren't banned i guess.

    Sadly, exposing the truth about robloxs has consequents. When I joined (during 2015 btw) I remember roblox being a bit stricter on users and covering up inappropriate games before they could get spread too fast. Now it sadly seems like they don't care. What happened to that dream Erik and David had plan on making? A platform for users of all ages to have fun? Even tho its morbid to mention this, how would Erik feel about the current state of robloxs?

    I'm a twenty something and I play Roblox with my nieces. We live hundreds of miles apart so it's a nice way for us to keep connected and have fun together. There have been some absolutely terrifying and uncomfortable moments I've witnessed between them and other players. I've tried to reach them about speaking up for themselves and not taking crap, but these people are so damn persistent. Even reporting them does nothing. One of the worst moments was when one of my nieces and I found a house, the inside of which was decorated like a strip club. There was tons of explicit and suggestive material in the home and I reported the player immediately and my nieces and I server hopped. Many children don't have someone to watch out for them, though. It's disgusting and a pervasive problem they need to address.

    when I was 8 I met a man on Roblox who I thought was around my age. he ended up tricking me and turned out to be a middle-aged man who threatened to come to my house and hurt me whilst showing me my address and telling me all the horrible things he would do to me. I did block him but he found me on multiple other accounts and kept harassing me and no matter how many times I reported him to Roblox they did absolutely nothing. No child or teenager should have to go through this and then be ignored by the people who are meant to help you.

    Another thing about Roblox's horrible moderation and biasness:
    There was a game by the name of meep city, this game was normal at first when we were introduced into customizing houses, setting up parties, playing mini games for in-game currency, roleplaying, and customizing your avatar. But the one feature that was the main downfall of that game was the party feature. In the beginning around 2018 after the game kicked off in 2017 people were starting to figure out ways to have inappropriate parties so they would use certain house decors to do it. At that time the creator and some of the moderators of the game was able to acknowledge it and remove some of the items that were being used, but it didn't help at all. Over the past few years people were starting to get smarter with trying to make more sexual orientated parties by using more of the house decorations as a way to do since the game has been updating. People were complaining about how the owners of the parties that were on the list were using the party feature inappropriately on twitter, but the moderators and the creator didn't listen at all. Over time, these parties were getting more worse by the minute from the way more people were making them. Us, the ones that care, tried our best to contact the Roblox moderators about this issue but they didn't do anything at all. On February 16, 2022 the game was put up for review because they were reported on the news about how meep city wasn't taken down nor at least moderated about the adult content that was being produced on there. The only thing that the Roblox moderators did was remove the party feature instead of take down the game overall. This might be an assumption, but I believe it is due to the game being a money maker for Roblox. That's why I think they didn't bother to look into it.. After 6 years of parents and players that were complaining about this game, they finally look at it because of them being reported on the news.
    This really shows that Roblox only cares about their reputation and money.
