    The ped problem is so terrifying. When I was 15 I made a 9 year old friend on Roblox, we were like big and little sister and played a lot together. One day when she was around 10, we were on a Discord call and she asked me where I lived. I said Canada and asked her the same question, expecting her to tell me a country, but she sent me her whole home address. I was shook. What if she was talking to someone with bad intentions?

    There is one problem with Rubens statement "tell you're parents if you are being pursued by a predator" but that's the problem. The kids don't want to. They love Roblox and they know if they tell their parents they will take away their devices, games and any connection to the virtual world will be tooken away. They don't want that, so they choose to stay silent.

      edit: also, id have to agree with that last bit. i dont plan on having anyone younger than me that i know get access to playing con games/get groomed on that game. i know you can’t exactly stop a kid from playing iffy games entirely or even chat with an iffy person (they will always find a workaround to parent restrictions) but you can show them how bad the consequences are for being interested in those kinds of things. roblox needs a PERMANENT disable chat feature. even with extra verification it’s scary how easily a kid can switch that setting off. alternatively, roblox could just add more specific features like “mute all except friends/users i follow”. but given the platform’s reputation, they feed off of the chances of kids being potentially groomed on their games.

    The problem with kids is that they are naive, they silence themselves in fear of losing what roblox means to them, a place where they made actual friends and had fun, and telling your parents about a predator who groomed you on your game is going to set off alarms for the parents, and they know that.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    I play anime games on Roblox as an older man because these kids make some great fan games. It’s honestly one of the only places to play a legitimate FUN BIG 3 anime game. I’m playing the hell out of type soul lol. I’m mindful that there are a lot of kids on the channel and as a father of a son myself I try not to get too involved or stare these kids into negative directions. So I’m usually on my best behavior.
    I had NO IDEA that Roblox even has games like this because I mostly play anime games, this shit is crazy.
    Edit: Even though the currency ratios are horrendous, it is a VALID place to make a game. This video is spot on. It’s also incredibly toxic if you’re not careful. Kids are out here scamming kids, and it’s a lot of Tom foolery going on, yall should really monitor what your kids are doing on here, especially when they join discord servers.

    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.

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.

      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.

    I've been in the Roblox community for more than a decade. Started off watching early gameplay videos and machinimas on UA-cam, and then about seven years ago, I actually began playing it myself. 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. I couldn't tell you why I love this platform so much when at it's core, is just a silly Lego clone.

    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.

  • @nikki4803
    @nikki4803 Рік тому +152

    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.

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.

    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.

      Games to not play if you have children is social hangouts.
      Social hangouts = Literal Condos with the correct emotes (custom)
      example: Write a Letter, please tell Mint and Hashiru to at least overmoderate chat logs

    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?

    just wanted to mention despite the amount of kiddos on roblox, lots of teens use it too which is where the style comes from. so the default recommendation of clothing doesnt even matter based off the users age or gender, it's just what's trending in looks.

    It's so frustrating seeing this i know the most I can do is quit the game this is not going to change the game whatsoever its just so infuriating seeing the treatment the devs get and this is literally extortion and fucking don't come with the excuse that they provide free services to build a game. I personally live in a country in which people don't get paid for overtime with my personal experience it's not different from being a roblox dev like i can't a personal life because see first it's that i come home at 8 and I have a company phone that if I don't pick up a call or my phone is switched off I will get punished and this applies even when I am on holiday I could get called on national holidays and I manage the provinces of 4 individual and barely get the salary for one and this is what roblox devs experience like you can't earn a liveable income and the people can always change as there is like tons and tons of competition. The lawsuit is absolutely absurd it's almost like they want to make an example of him and 1.6mil is no child's amount I hope everything works out for him I don't think I will be on the platform for long I don't think they are gonna take any action and we users and devs alike willnt be respected like how many times do you think that people complain that they weren't refunded and now I get Minecraft is more popular than roblox (out of context i know) like i literally thought that Minecraft made 2 or 3 times more than roblox and it turns out be the opposite And the Minecraft community doesn't have many problems with the game itself rather the community in it.
