What would you call it when a child does work that you profit from?

Doesn’t matter what you call it. It’s profitable and you know that’s what’s meant.

Is labor. There is a whole market of Roblox related things, there are job sites, freelance sites that employ kids to work on design/programming/marketing of these game modes. To pay them the game currency that maybe later can be traded for real money.
Is not just kids tinkering with the game.

Fair enough, but couldn’t the same be said about YouTube? They also take the biggest cut of the ad money for creators.

Yes. Using kids to drive engagement on YouTube is exploitative. Parents who do that are exploiting their children

But what about…? Doesn’t excuse the first thing!

Why did anyone read my comment as an excuse? I was pointing two fingers instead of one on Roblox.
