Garbage company with a predatory business model that enables child predators to make money. Yet somehow 21B seems to be a floor on the market cap. Why? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32014754 TC: 440k
I'm considering moving to Roblox. Op might have gotten rejected.
Is it even hard to get into Roblox? Lol
Google L6, struggling L6s at that, were hired as Director at RBLX at the peak of the pandemic boom. Anyone who thinks Roblox has a hiring bar is a delusional idiot.
It’s on its way. Give it time
Been watching for over a quarter. The floor of 21B holds, which is surprising given that they don't even have positive earnings. I wonder how much of it is Meta shorts holding other VR/metaverse companies as a hedge.
You clearly don’t understand enough of the stock market Please don’t short, you’ll just lose money
This has literally nothing to do with Roblox and more to do with bad parenting and scum people tryna take advantage of kids The post goes on talking about making the kids feel special with in game gifts and a sense of community and virtual chat That’s literally every online game… Unless you want roblox to start asking for social security numbers they have no way of completely stopping any predator from joining They do their best and it’s up to the parents to do the rest (like blocking chat on Roblox, monitoring search history on phone and computer, etc)
Stop tanking the market!
Do roblox force the creation of an account by an adult and block chat by default for kids?
Thanks for sharing. My eldest child keeps talking about it after seeing it on friends devices and he is looking forward to having a tablet to be able to play. I have a limited knowledge of it but I thought it was cool and educational. Definitely it will have chat deactivated, if I will ever let him use it.
The answer is a HELL NO if your child were a "she" given the number of minor girls who've been raped and emotionally abused starting from innocuous undetectable advances on Roblox, read up this case or several first hand parent comments on hacker news - https://www.macon.com/news/state/georgia/article258981793.html But even with a male child, you want to think a hundred times and maybe consider an alternative platform that isn't always in the parental circles for enabling kids to try adult stuff in the metaverse without knowing what they are getting into. You'll get plenty of defenders at places like Blind trying to tell you "oh but every online company / game is like this" but look up the police and legal records and Roblox is singularly stinky.
This is an account of a 10 year old girl being lured into "erotic role play". Roblox is singularly sneaky compared to any other platform in how much it enables pedophiles to find their next target and effectively trap them into conversing in real life or on another platform.
It's a shame that working at Google hasn't taught you anything.
Well at least Snap taught you ad hominem attacks in response to substantial questions, so you've got that going.
Ok we heard the Roblox speech, do snap next OP
ok
no u ok
OP what’s your YOE?

Very proud of the revenue revision downwards? https://www.marketwatch.com/story/roblox-stock-surges-after-growth-in-september-daus-and-bookings-while-previous-revenue-estimates-adjusted-down-2022-10-17
OP, you have no clue how to read the report. The downward revision is driven by positive news(users stays with the platform longer, less churn rate)
@mckinsey, mind referring?
OP did you get rejected by Roblox?
I shared my TC for a reason. No dearth of high TC places to go to if I were chasing TC, but I am a new parent and need the WLB, hence G. Don't need to beg at a child-abuser enabling firm for money, I can go to HFT or Amazon, or even Meta which is a much lesser evil than RBLX. I want to short RBLX, trying to understand what is keeping their market cap up.
Well RBLX is up 15% today due to this post
