How is it click bait?
Edit: You just downvoted me and didn't answer, so you have none and just like talking.
Not the person you asked, but I think it's clickbait because it presents the word without context in such a way as to provoke an emotional response. It sounds like maybe he thinks he can make money off of child predators. The subheading "Who said CEOs don't have a sense of humor?" also implies that he said it jokingly.
You can read the original interview here: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/podcasts/hardfork-roblox-child-safety.html
I think "CEO of Roblox downplays problem of child predators on the platform" or "CEO of Roblox dodges questions of child safety" very accurately describe how the interview went and are not misleading. (The original headline is kid gloves bullshit, and I'm not happy about that either.)
e: Realized the Futurism article literally says "Baszucki didn’t downplay the issue of child exploitation as some might expect." He did absolutely did at multiple points in the interview.
That's how it sounds in the full interview, too. He doesn't explain, but that's what it sounds like.
Yes, that's what the CEO wants.
It's not, he's just a corposcum-sniffing fanboy.
He's a corpo huffer who loves to defend companies ran by pedophiles as far as I can tell.
Makes sense when you look at his profile. Dude says anything a company wants him to.
