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

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

          Probably the “but”. I agree that both are exploitive and they should all be called out on it.
