- Larrikin 4y agoI've informed my son of the exploitation of labor aspect and he understands that if he is trying to sell on the platform he is being massively ripped off. He doesn't try to sell and knows if he wants to make money his time is better spent elsewhere. He still loves writing and modifying scripts that he just shares with his friends exclusively. He spends nearly an equal time writing code and reading the Roblox programming book as he does playing the game which doesn't seem like a terrible trade-off for the time boxed gaming time. Kids aren't dumb, they can just be naive.
