Roblox App Not Affected by Screen Time - Apple Community
discussions.apple.com

I am a firm believer in teaching children to use technology in moderation. My kids have better boundaries with their tablets than most adults I know. But then shit like this happens and it’s a good reminder that capitalists are intentionally addicting children to their platforms in order to increase their profits by a fraction of a percent.

Also, if your kid is naive enough to believe that only fellow children play Roblox, they do not have the skills needed to navigate Roblox safely and they are being unknowingly exposed to pedophiles on a regular basis.

      addicting

      :reddit-logo: style pedants will tell you that habit forming is not the same thing as addiction as if that makes it acceptable. :very-intelligent:

        tbh I'm not really that concerned about the addictive or habit forming nature of roblox. I haven't played it but from afar it does seem like kids are playing it because they genuinely just find the games in it fun and not because of any psychological tricks. Everything built on top of that foundation though is exploitative and bad.

    But how will the wholesome Roblox CEOs maximize profits if we don't let them exploit children 24/7? :powercry-1: Think of the poor billionaires for once!
