Roblox is literally a scam and that's why they don't want any publicity because they are monetizing children's hardwork with 0 compensation to them by stealing anything the kids create using their platform. They just don't want this to get out and basically get outed as the biggest child labor sweatshop factory.

I have no experience having kids but I have more than enough experience with internet.

It just doesn't make sense to me how parents are this clueless when it comes to their children on the web. It just feels neglectful to me, how would you not realize being online is practically the same of your kid spending their time out on the streets these days.

10 times worse in fact at least in the street sexual deviants don't just teleport around them in an instant.

Is it really that hard to look over the shoulder of your children once or twice? Make a separate room or a corner of the house for PCs and put their PC next to yours, make sure the gaming console is in the living room. Remove the webcam in your home and only plug it in when it is obligatory, for school or something.

Aren't millennials parents now, people from my generation? How are the parents still completely oblivious about their children's online activities?

Like if my kid was gambling skins at least I could tell him the influences they watch are scammers there is no winning money in this, after revoking all their allowance, till that Steam account is deleted.

God I hope I'll never have kids, it all sounds like ass cancer to me, why is anyone having these shits.

dude, my sister is literally a millennial, she’s over 30, and her kid is around 5 now. he watches these youtube shorts all the time, and even goes on the google play store on her phone to download random games, the kind filled with ads and bugs that basically rot a kid’s brain. the crazy part is, she knows the consequences, because she’s a doctor, but she still doesn’t stop him. she never argues with him or sets hard rules. the phone is the only way he calms down or sits still to eat.

that’s the real problem underneath it all. kids should never have been exposed to these devices so young, and even later they should be under strict restrictions. a phone should never become the easy way for a parent to leave their kid alone, it’s basically like leaving your child with a snake or a time bomb.
