You could start with this People Make Games video from a couple of years ago. https://youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ?si=Ttg4-Bust1K-X-22

Reddit is better.

I said explain. It’s this old school thing we used to do where we JUST TELL A PERSON SOMETHING

I get what you are saying, and actually agree with out. But you don’t have to be an asshole about it. No one has the obligation to attend your tantrums.

Children make games on Roblox (real games, the thing people do working in the industry), Roblox makes money off those games and pays close to nothing to the children. Therefore, exploits children.

Sometimes, there are already resources explaining more clearly and thoroughly than we could. And although I’m unsure if this case qualifies, there are definitely topics that can’t be reduced to a few sentences. Thus, a reputable link is often worth more to both sides: it saves the explainer time and effort while informing the target far better.

If you don’t want to engage with the content, I believe there are better ways to go about it than being rude to people who were likely trying to help.

No we didn’t. Telling people something was invented in 2016 by russian bots in Kamchatka on Twitter.

Watch the video or feed it into ChatGPT for a summary or Google a pre-existing summary.

The video is an explanation, none of us want to regurgitate multiple 30-45 minute videos that already explain exactly what your asking.
