Comment on Roblox Studio boss: children making money on the platform isn't exploitation, it's a gift

I saw the video posted by gamma on this thread and the general summary I got from the video is that:
- For the immense time and expertise these children are putting into the game, they get a very small cut. And their social life and education will probably suffer so hey!
- A job comes with security and rights. These children get no rights as they are not on contract.
- There are predators on Roblox which the company is overlooking (as they are making huge games there, like the Sonic the Hedgehog Roblox game).
It’s a very grey area that isn’t regulated well.

Was it the People Make Games video? Because there was a follow up to it. Am going to link both for anyone that wants a deep dive into how scummy Roblox is:
