I think we've hit that point where it's time to talk about a certain blocky game that got me my start in video creation here on YouTube all the way back in 2008. This video essay mainly covers my time on the platform but also talks about some of the recent changes/controversies that have occurred. It includes the big changes to the platform I've seen over the past 18 years, the problem with Robux/actual real world money spent on the platform, some of the video creators who make "Roblox content" here on YouTube, and the problem with adults getting "weird" on the platform. Yes, I do talk about the recent age group changes and the schlep situation as well. This video has been a long time coming not only for myself, but also for my roblox fans.
