Let me make sure I’m clear on your argument: you think it’s just great for the labor of children to be exploited for the benefit of shareholders?

If this is correct, then you’re not actually a “critical thinker”, just a horrible person.

I took the comment as a resigned "that's why these platforms will continue to grow". Not as support or condemnation.

I agree that Roblox profits off the creativity of children without giving them a meaningful share or dealing with the other issues of child labour, and that's pretty gross.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Can you really exploit someone that can leave any time ?

[LadyCailin]

Yes. When they’re too young to understand that you’re earning money from their work, and not paying them.

Singling out Roblox when this is ubiquitous seems wild. Any sport fits into this category - trainer makes money by exploiting kids doing some physical work and are too young to understand... Or school projects etc..
