Trying to Get Rich off Clickbait Roblox Games
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Clickbait games that feature practically no gameplay and exist only to scam robux from children run rampant on Roblox. Their colorful thumbnails, icons, and descriptions promise a world full of fun and memes to unsuspecting young Roblox players, only to drop them into a game that they can barely see past all the gamepass buy buttons clogging their screens. With how awful these games clearly are, it's hard to imagine how they could ever be successful organically. Are these games actually getting hundreds of thousands of unique visits, or is it all just bots, scams, and other illicit methods? In this video, I aim to find out by immersing myself into the world of clickbait Roblox games and creating some myself. 20, to be precise.

Apollyonic says "hai :3"
So heartwarming to see a young developer make games he's truly passionate about and document it on TH-cam
God he’s so passionate I bet he’s not doing it for the money! Right…?
woah is that laughability?
awesome, i’m subbed
my glorious pookie king commented
hi snuggle wuggly fuggle muggle duggle woofey poofey doofey pookie boo bear
after careful consideration, i’ve decided to stop selling drugs. and start creating clickbait trendy roblox games. thank you nitro for helping me out in this decision
badger?
yeah what they said
Overdose😇
Sell drugs again 😄
creating clickbait trendy roblox games is not a good or productive job. try robbing banks instead.
reasons why the experiment failed:
- if games have a really tiny amount of visits, or have just been released, they will show up miles deep into the search, even if you search up the exact same name
- when searching up small games, they only appear if theres no other game like them and they have over 1000 visits, but with clickbait games its the opposite
- the most popular clickbait games attract the most players due to them showing up at the very top, which is why almost every other game gets 0 players. they did this by being some of the first few games about their genre, and were able to maintain their playerbase because of how long the glass bridge was
- most community posts dont get many views, which is why it only got around a thousand people to comply
basically the only ways to get rich by this is through botting a game, being early to the genre, advertise an insane amount of robux, or change a previously popular game
edit: if your game is pretty good, advertising is insanely important, and better when not with roblox ads. a lot of games blow up because of youtubers such as bake da baby, easiest game on roblox (basically blew up overnight because a small youtuber ~1000 subs made one video), and almost every front page game
Yap yap yap
this isnt a hate comment dummy im saying why the experiment didnt work because nitro didnt
@@FaZepoopooyumyumpants its information not hate speech did you even read the comment
@@FaZepoopooyumyumpants you too young to be able to read? 👶🍼
@@FaZepoopooyumyumpants hey buddy I think you and I are autistic 🤝
Being a clickbait developer is like being in an indian scam call center you are universally hated
I would not stoop that low even for the money
Eh I think it’s fine unless you add purchases
indians do that because a single us dollar is like, a bajillion in india (exaggerating. but it is a lot) clickbait devs are just high school dropouts from pennsylvania or something
Look at nitro! The savior of the 8 year old iPad kids, giving them purpose to play these clickbait games! Great job nitrolord!
W vid btw
That you you never post videos you 8 year old iPad kid
*sighs* I am an iPad kid
@@thatguywhomythhunts Well if you know that, may as well just set it down and go play
YES DADDY
I remember when in 2017 40% of the front page was "OBBY OBBY OBBY OBBY"
A hint for advertising: Make a Free UGC item with little stock (
How about you give a percent of that stock to alts just to resell?
That's evil
Its free for the users, but if im not wrong you, the creator, need to pay alot for publish that items?
Not too much, although yes it can be a bit pricey... You need to pay 750 robux to upload and then 100 robux per stock of the item.
If this becomes your new most popular video I will cry
that would be sad 😢
@@blayzejYT Yeah literally
if it was im here
same
If it will happen some toxic kid will say "cry about it".
So this is what that community post was for…
Lmfao
Yeah lol
Lol guess it waa
One man's trash is another kid's treasure, I suppose.
so this is what that weird scam clickbait games were about
I have a feeling the main reason why they didn't get visits is because you didn't add an age guideline to your game.
If there is no age guideline, by default, the game is restricted to 13+ accounts only.
Probably most people who play these clickbait games are under 8 years old and probably registered their account with their real birthday.
man i love obscure and interesting things about the history of roblox
too bad lol
Yo same
This was a great look into the scummier, scammier side of ROBLOX development. It was really interesting to see that the games flopped, even with the advertising and backing of your platform. The video was overall an entertaining and informative watch.
My question is this: How long are videos just concepts or ideas before they eventually become real videos? Some videos I worked on I've been wanting to make before I even made my channel. While others are spur of the moment lightbulb moments that I go to work on immediately. Congrats on 100k btw!!!
Nitrolord, if you see this can you talk about the federation items? Its my favorite hat series and i would love a video on it. Love your videos so much mate
That would actually be pretty cool ngl
At some point, yeah!
i do like the deferation hats
nuh uh@@Nitrolord
@@Nitrolord W
Question for QnA: What do you think about the recent surge of fake limiteds through ugc? Do you think it’s good for players to finally have an exact replica of their dream items or is this a bad thing? Personally, I can’t decide.
Anyways, congrats on 100k! I recently found your channel and have been watching your videos a lot. Thank you for making such great content!
imo it's a double edged sword
Here’s a question for the QNA: What do you think is the most underrated genre on Roblox?
In my opinion I’d go with platforming adventure story games just because there’s barely any (also a game recommendation is “the day the noobs took over roblox 3” love that game).
when i can learn to properly script, i think i will release a game where you can build a story game, i'm rhinking of calling it "storyline"
lately story games have been milked to Pluto.
like "need more heat" existed for a week and now we have need more cold, need more chaos, need more IQ, and need more bitc-
same thing with the "Get a snack at 3 am.", a lot of people milked the original (used to be creative) idea.
@@kajemorphic Honestly, at this point i would consider those types of games their own subsection of story games in which a certain simple plot blows up and is reused over and over, although i don’t think that’s bad in all cases it definitely does get boring after a while.
Puzzle games are underrated. Stuff like untitled door game 2 are very good
u like story , ok, but did u remember chain lemonade studio ?
I found this channel from the video he said most people knew you from, but I couldn't help taking a look, and looking back, it was probably one of the best decisions of my life. Long videos to either keep as background noise, or to actually enjoy. Thank you, man. Also, I got a question: What do you plan on going for in the future (Sub Goals, View Milestones, Connection with viewers, etc.)
I know a few big time devs IRL and the reason it didn't blow up is because you need to collaborate with youtubers and tick tok creators. Kickstarting a brand new game costs anywhere from $2k-10k in youtube sponsrships. It's worth noting that sponsorships go MUCH farther than roblox ads, and they are really the ONLY way to start a new game from nothing.
I played your skibid game and the problem is that you can't see the bridge in the dark. The glass and the dark background make it almost impossible (for me, maybe because I'm on the highest graphic settings) to see the bridge. Kids love to see colour stimilu so this is an important factor. The glasses also respawn instantly so you can't expect a kid to remember where to jump for more than 3 jumps and makes them rage quite instantly. For the visits, yeh u need to pay ads lol. Always has been, games don't get a random playercount jump if the visits have been on zero. If they search bridge game they will see yours almost last
I also donated 50 bobux so enjoy your riches uwu
7:38 i can't believe 4 year olds are interested into getting jumpscared in a fnaf game
Hello! I started watching your channel religiously around a year back after a very bad dental surgery, safe to say that you got me into roblox trading and all of that good stuff.
My two questions are:
- What is your general opinion on the new UGC limiteds.
- What is your opinion on the new holding system that occurs when trading.

11:24 KAKAV420 MENTIONED RAHHHHHH
my friend got 30 million visits on a clickbait game
I've been watching your vids on repeat while checking for 2010 tix accounts (EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES) and somehow the same stuff never gets old
Hey nitro! Just wanted to say i love ur videos and i have a suggestion. Could you cover "innovation inc"" next? If you dont know, innovation inc is a group of people who make sone weird yet interesting games. They have made a "innovation inc space station" and it is some kind of weird showcase game with multiple endings. Im not going to spoil them for you, but anyways have a awesome day :) .
Hello Nitro, I’m trying to make a video where YOU are the main star! It is all about your channel history and all
NOO I NEED TO PLAY ESCAPE FROM DIGITAL CIRCUS GLASS BRIDGE OBBY, UNPRIVATE IT
A reason why the game probably failed in luring 10 yo's, is that the clickbait games were published during the time the themes/meme you picked were going viral.
HELLO NITROLORD!! Theres a good chance you wont see this, and I don’t have a good question, but I just want to say I actually LOVE your content. It keeps my brain whizzing… I actually think its part of your editing style, its so creative especially in the bits where you make whole sections of you walking around (like the lab one LOL), your content is so SO SO good and im kinda sad that i only found your channel like 3 weeks ago, old roblox content is 100% my thing and u fill some void i didnt know i had. Its a joy whenever u upload!!
when talia's crew part 2 (you can take your time to make it i just wanna know if it is gonna be made)
"sus skibidi toilet simulator" is a game 7 year old ipad kids would play
I’ve started watching you when you had around 4-10k, I never got to subscribe, but your videos and editing were amazing! So I just searched you up, and subbed like a few minutes ago.
It’s midnight in 20 min so I have just enough time to watch this
Hahah I remember playing the one you recommended and I beat it and died at the end and teleported me to a Skibidi toilet version LOL and I remember waking into that stupid npc so many times I wanted to throw my phone against the wall since it was unskippable and Yw! For playing!!!!
4:37 (jumpscare warning) jesus christ that actually scared me
Boneless burrito
Burritos had bones this whole time? :0
Worst thing is that most obbys can’t even play anymore because of the amount of the gamepasses
What did things did you use to reach this milestone? (Like video editing software, mic, video idea process, etc.)
(I have been subbed for a very long time, you were only at like 10k subs. THANK YOU FOR MAKING CONTENT)
Davinci Resolve, Shure SM7B, I mostly get video ideas just throughout my time exploring roblox and seeing what interesting/controversial things there are
Struggling developer makes clickbait game: >:(
Struggling developer makes clickbait game but a video too: :D
Wow! I just started watching your vids and I'm already starting to like you as a roblox ytber
Very underrated
heyo nitro will you ever make a follow-up video on kotss or the arktoran empire ... ? i think that would be sick
Why do you kinda sound like ko neko kitten
Its his alt
Duh
@@Ya_daspongeno it is definitely not
Bro its like the low quality obbies from the 2010s that everyone played that didnt know any better.
I love this videos so much, it makes my day when they get uploaded. Thanks for entertaining thousands.
wowowowo
Congrats on being first
I think the one thing you didnt really copy right, is the bright sky, the night sky also made the glass bridge nearly invisible and it was just not really understandable what you have to do (especially as a 6 year old child)
someone should actually do an indepth analysis of the Roblox algorithm, back in 2021 when squid game was blowing up i google translated "squid game" into spanish and just put it into my game description and it got 200 concurrent players at one point lol
BRO, WHY DO MY COMMENTS KEEP GETTING DELETED, IM JUST UPLOADING A LINK TO A DROPBOX I MADE!?!?
womp womp
Its automatic
TH-cam doesnt like links for scam reasons
Funny seeing all these same trends from like a decade ago (obby's with purchasable admin, items, using popular characters and free models to "theme" your game, etc.) still relevant today. Heck even the glass bridge games are just those old obstacles that you had to use the mouse walk cursor to figure out.
Q&A where do u get your ideas for videos
3:20 the sound jumpscared me
Even as a kid I still Dissaprove these so called "skibidi" Stuff. But thanks for the video documenting these silly lil click bait gamez!!! ^ _ ^
Play adventure forward 2
Nowadays, its really hard to get an game famous without spending any robux on advertising or having an famous game already made.
nitrolord i used to watch all of your videos in the summer and then i forgot that your videos exist and then randomly remembered them now lol
"You were supposed to fight the Sith, not join them!"
I fucking thought that one of the tags was "Jeffy" even though this isn't the 2010-2019 decade anymore LMAO
there’s gotta be a group effort behind these clickbait games. they all had funds to use ads
Not all.
ive been watching since you were at 50k subs and its amazing to see you get this far, congrats on 100k!
Nitro Lord u should make a video about Blox Watch no one has covered them since years ago.
Q&A how did you get started in game development I have all these ideas but barley and skill. Thanks Retro
WHY ARE THERE A METAL SONIC IN EVERY GAME???
THE FIRE ALARM BIT SCRAED ME HALF TO DEAHT WHAT THE HEC
you should also make videos about non-limited OG or make a wish or event items. also keep up with exelent work nitro!
dude careful with that pet sim game the dmca strikes are already coming your way
Clearly the true method to make a bag is to actually put in some mild effort on an anime game. Promote sneaks of flashy combat and visuals through other discords and content creators. Then release the unfinished product, get your bag and leave 👍.
10:22
OH GOD NOT THIS HORRIBLE OVERUSED SOUND EFFECT THAT MAKES ME DIE
*GET OUT OF MY HEAD*
but still cool video
you should do a video on roblox lore characters like doombringer or telamon. im pretty sure you made a video sort of like this about factions please though i think this video would be very epic
I reached the end and it just killed me 💀
That's why you made that community post...
(You're welcome, as one of the 710.)
That ending is so real. Create, and be creative. As an indie, you'd much rather have success from a passion project than a clickbait skibidi toilet game. And if it doesn't work out, you still have gathered experience from it. I'm talking from the position of having had my passion project be turned from a silly 50 visit game to over 30 million visits. I too was in the same place as most of you are right now, and I too thought that those numbers were ASTRONOMICAL and IMPOSSIBLE. But here I am. And so can you. Make something original, don't chase the money. You'll thank me later!
I’m glad he is keeping the iPad kids happy so The IPad Kids War doesn’t start.
Simple video I like it,no click bait, no drugs just good vid
as a skibidi fan, you definetely got those names right
not
True
I bought the gravity coil. I dont regret a bit of it
this is so meticulesly crafted up to atomic level, its perfect in every way possible, one of the if not, best roblox games there is.
wait actually this is just... i don't know i didn't expect it to be this immoral
there is no question here but i still want an answer
QNA:Do you ever had a idea of making a video of a different game (example:minecraft,battle cats and etc)
Dude why don’t u make shorts no more? Also nice new Intro
I think one of the reasons why your games didn’t gain any visits is also because you didn’t set the age rating/recommendation for the games as Roblox pushes or favors rated games to recommendations than unrated ones as stated on a devforum post!
thank you so much nitro you completely made me change my mind I will no longer try to become a roblox developer becuase there is basically no way to getting robux to adversite.
For the QnA, what inspired you to start doing TH-cam, and who inspired you to make the content you make today?
Bonus: what makes you think you’re a lord?
My question for the QnA: Whats your favourite non UGC Dominus and whats your least favourite?
Qna: when is your birthday
how did you find roblox
What made you want to start making videos and what made you want to make the videos you make
Also how much money do you make from TH-cam
QNA: Nitrolord, what is your favorite OG Roblox hat (2007-2013), Egg Hunt Egg, and event item in general? Also, what is your opinion on the Kleos hat series?
bro those gamepass spam games work! i let my little cousin play an obby and they spent a bunch of robux without understanding she was like 3-4 yrs and she never played roblox before so she just didnt know
You had to first figure out a way to push those games to people's front page, but if u have the means to do this, then u'd be one of the giants who can print hundreds of thousands of visits singlehandedly. U might as well stop being a game dev at that point and start another business there.
This is basically an SEO's specialty… (Look that up, cause that's the job term for the whole thing described above)
i remember subscribing to you when you had like 30k subs xd
Yep, my mom and step dad were cool with paying for my xbox subscription, but they made me work my ass off if I wanted black ops dlcs or new games in general.
I like how each segment of the video is named after every Item asylum badge
Please I need a sequel to the Talia’s crew video
Congrats on the milestone man,
also random QNA: What do u think of microwaves??
I am actually shocked at how much subscribers and fans you have gotten since you have started! I’ve been a fan of you since like 26k to 36k subscribers. Keep doing Amazing ❤
Quick Question if you see this, is that “The player that Roblox forgot” video real? Or was it just something you made up for Halloween because it is an amazing video and actually got me shocked at the end 😂
Edit: this is a Q&A question
QNA: how do you feel about old internet (like 2000s-2010s)
so the youtube shorts meta for brainrot gameplay also applies to roblox
Wow the new ad system is terrible it used to be so simple
Congratulations on the milestone nitro, keep on growing and being and being a great TH-camr 100,000 is a lot
i think the reason why th egame failed is because there’s no bg music, the ui is terrible in mobile, and the atmosphere is terrible (so dark)
the games are still terrible
