Replying to @Emathiio
I would like to believe what you said here however the fact that you went onto Chris Hansen’s show following the incident and didn’t even really try to defend CubeINC on a show which consistently gets Roblox’s attention is making me a little bit skeptical

This is the full email of the European Union.
We decided to release it to the public, because you have a right to know how tyrannical they are. While they allow every left-wing ECI to pass through, they don't even dare to accept the Save Europe Act.
If our demands are against the core value of this European Union, then these values are bad.

Hoppa weer 500.000.000 euro naar Oekraïne.
En ondertussen willen ze in Nederland bezuinigen op onze zorg en sociale zekerheid en zijn de boodschappen en energiekosten voor velen onbetaalbaar.
Jetten en Yesilgoz hebben lak aan Nederlanders.
Hoe eerder ze opstappen hoe beter!
Oekraïne kan op Nederland blijven rekenen. Dat heb ik vanmiddag nogmaals bevestigd in mijn gesprek met Oekraïense minister van Defensie @FedorovMykhailo. Met een nieuw steunpakket blijft Nederland Oekraïne concreet bijstaan in de strijd voor een veilig en vrij Oekraïne. Dat is ook van groot belang voor de rest van Europa. En recente successen van Oekraïne laten zien: die steun werkt.

i’ve been seeing a lot of editors lowball themselves lately and i gotta say this
editing is not a poverty job. underpricing yourself doesn’t just hurt you, it lowers the standard for everyone.
editing is a massive part of what makes videos perform and it should be treated like it
you are a high value service provider, not disposable labor
value your work, we gotta stop racing to the bottom

PSA: Discord Bot Hijacking Roblox Accounts
You may be contacted by a user offering to buy your game, where they'll invite you to a discord server in which you have to verify your account. When you try to verify with RoLinked (their bot), it will redirect you to a website which steals your cookies. Then they proceed to log you out of your account, change your email & password, and steal your groups. The recently named group behind this is Motive Studios! Be careful clicking any links.
Some signs you can use:
• Checking the groups creation date, for reference, this group was created very recently, which could be a good indicator of unlikelihood/scam. This can be done using the RoSeal extension.
• Even huge development groups do not have 150+ people in development/admin roles.
• If they are asking you to join a discord server to click a link in-order to discuss acquisition of a game, these negotiations are usually held in a personal conversation, not within an entire server, and especially one that then requires you to click an unknown link.

The Roblox Ads Manager sucks and Roblox isn't going to fix it.
With the old system, you would choose how much you want to spend per day and it'd allow you to have a somewhat consistent CCU throughout the time you're running it.
However, with the new system, you have to set a budget and bid, and it doesn't even seem that the system accurately disperses your funds.
I'm running $220/Day right now for a test and within 10 minutes I can go from 40 CCU all the way up to 390 and then back down to 90. Getting that massive spike to 390 might seem good, but it uses a ton of my ad credit so then the money runs out and my CCU dies until the next day when the next round of cash comes in.
I used to spend less than this and get much more consistent players.
Roblox is thinking about this new Ads Manager like Google or Facebook ads managers, but it's a completely different thing. This is gaming, this is advertising to players that will play NOW rather than maybe go buy your product later.
There is no way for me to ensure that I will have players around the clock, thus my game completely dies from 4pm - 12am CT, which is considered primetime for the US market, when the ad spend has already run out for the day.
The only way for an indie developer to get their game off the ground is to dump hundreds, if not thousands of dollars into ads, hope the Roblox algorithm picks it up, and pray that it breaks even on those ads before being killed off again.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen great success running ads on Roblox, but comparing how the Roblox ad system used to be, in terms of getting players to actually play your experience, and compared to how it is now is just sad.
To the Roblox Admins Ads Team that are definitely reading this tweet, here are my asks:
• Remove the horizontal bloat from the Ads Manager requiring you to scroll left and right to see all of your data and the vertical bloat causing you to only see 5 Campaigns/Ad Sets/Ads at a time, do this by removing all of the empty space at the top of the page
• In general, make the UI/UX better by making it easier to view all of your data. Maybe add some sort of "Compare" tool for your campaigns, ad sets, and ads?
• Make it searchable by Name and Date of ad run
• Add the ability to rename old Campaigns/Ad Sets/Ads that have already finished running
• Add an option that allows you to have consistency with your impressions rather than randomly recommending it to a ton more or a ton less people
• If you're running multiple ads in an Ad Set, or multiple Ad Sets in a campaign, have an option to evenly disperse funds between these Ads or Ad Sets to ensure we're getting accurate results when doing A/B Testing, instead of having to make them be separate campaigns. This is a BIG one for me.
I'm sure there are a ton more that I can't think of right now. I personally spent over 8 Million Robux, $28,000, on Sponsored Ad Spend in 2023, and I've barely touched it this year because of how repulsive the Ads Manager feels to use in its current state.
Just please, I've talked with you guys, I understand your team is small and it will take time, and I sympathize with you. Respectfully, please add at least a few of these things I've mentioned to your update timeline and make it better for everyone.
I respect you guys so much and appreciate the hard work you put in, you're the life blood of the platform.

Well @LinusTech said #Roblox is a "Scam based on Exploiting Young Developers" (It's not!)

I'm very disappointed. I've watched LTT for years as a go-to trusted media source. The videos PMG made about Roblox were out of context and painted a false story.

We're calling on @Roblox to stop leaving developers in the dark.
Eight hundred replies in just 6 hours, Roblox developers have shown near total unity against this game breaking change.
Roblox must consult with us more rather then treat us like a secondary liability
