Can we talk about the Roblox situation?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.eco.br/post/15797053 > If anyone can make a compilation of news and articles in the facts, that would be great. > > For those who don't know, Roblox is a publicly traded company and they are down almost 2bn dol on the stock market because they are being accused of facilitating the sexual exploration and grooming of children. > > They just banned a player who was groomed by a roblox developer and then started a catch a predator project that resulted in the arrest of 6 adults accused of predating on children using the game. > > Chris Hansen contacted the player and they are doing a documentary on the sexual predation that occurs on the plataform. There is a class action, so if you are in the US and know someone who has been abused on roblox, you should contact them. > > I don't know much about the situation, I just watched a couple articles about it. > > To top it all off, the CEO announced that roblox is pivoting to becoming a dating website. This is not the onion, fellers.

But he’s reading a script, man, why do you want to read the manuscript?

Sorry, but there is no one else. Are you going to give your savings away for this? No one would, but he’s doing it.

He has an online following that expect his style of video, but regardless of that, this is the same thing that made piratesoftware hate in the projext blindly, he didn’t like the look of the guy and the aesthetics.

Really? Grow up, why do you care how the video looks? Have you ever tried writing script, setting up a studio, recording, editing, publishing and designing a video? I do this professionally and it can takes weeks or months to have something that looks moderately acceptable. Why do you care about the aesthetics? I don’t get it

Fair enough, by the way, valid point. But it does seem like you jumped on a bandwagon, my friend.

The smaller a community is, the more influence you have. Propaganda here is much more effective than on Reddit

There are many differences, some advantages and some disavantages. If you want to read, you can read the transcript that YT generates or you can probably find the text posted in some of his blogs, I bet.
