My kid came to me this morning to ask about a video they found on YouTube. It offered FREE ROBUX!!!! in exchange for:

  • Installing Microsoft Edge.
  • Only using Bing! for searches.
  • Signing up for a Microsoft Rewards account.
  • Continue using this setup for five consecutive days.
  • Only available by signing up via this YouTuber's referral link.
  • None of which children under 13 can legally do on their own.

Cool exploitation, bro.

So I explained: even if this is a legitimate offer, that's five days of work for only $1.25! The people you're doing this work for will make a lot more than that! Those Robux aren't free—you're paying for them by working, and paying way more than they're worth! You should keep what you earn!

I had them clean up the bottles and cans in their and their sibling's room, and told them they can keep the full recycle value. I figure they'll probably pull in about 400 Robux for 10 to 15 minutes of work.

I don't have to clean, they learned a lesson. EZ mode Dadding on a Saturday morning. :sleepi:
