Yeah it's been years since I read about it, so I didn't want to come across like I knew more than I did. And maybe they're better now, was my thought. But the stuff I've read since this morning says otherwise.

A few years ago I posted in a reddit advice thread about how I banned my kid from roblox because of that exploitation-by-design and everyone freaked the fuck out at me and told me I was a terrible person.
