Only a businessman could look at literally anything at all and call it an opportunity.

MODERATORS
Only when paired with precise geo location and cruise missiles.
Newton: I mean, look, Dave, I can tell you’re getting a little bit frustrated here.
Baszucki: I’m actually not frustrated. I just, I’m so excited to talk — I thought we were going to be talking about fun, funny things in the industry and all of that. So I’m not frustrated, I’m just kind of figuring out how much fun time I have with you guys and how much fun time we have versus kind of this superfocus. But I’m happy to talk about whatever you guys want.
"I don't want to talk about our predator problem, I want to talk about getting kids on our platform"
Guy sounds like a predator exploiting kids himself.
Silicon Valley has always been pioneered by rapists. SV has always been about breaking boundaries and coercing consent
The company itself preys on children. The largest developers prey on children. It's not always the body that predators are after. It often is the vulnerability and naivety.
Ignorance is letting your kid play roblox. Scumbag platform.
Maybe I've already had an aneurysm and this reality is merely a terrible delusion borne of that.
Reality is that ethics are subjective restrictions we place on ourselves and each other. When these restrictions aren't maintained, the choice of harming another for one's self benefit loses its inherent consequencial dread.
Those who don't fear the results of their actions cannot weigh the possible risks involved. And when there are no risks seen, only the possible benefits remain.
A large community of child predators is a great opportunity - to expand roblox into a prestige networking site for the republican party.
Simulated underage children! We call them honey pots… you can add one to your kids account for an extra $50 a month.
How many robux is that?
... to make money.
"we profit off of child labor and paedophiles. no need to hide it baybee"
Sue them out of existence. They are not going to stop.
Lordy, I hate sensationalized editorial headlines. This is the actual quote.
Asked by co-host Casey Newton how he thinks about the issue of child predators on his platform, the Roblox CEO said the issue wasn’t just a “problem, but an opportunity as well.”
This is standard corpo/PR speak when addressing an issue, you refer to it as an "opportunity", there's an implied "to solve/address".
This did not make it better.
Contrarians don't understand the difference between disagreeing and having a point.
Reminds me of an old joke...
Man goes to his boss and says "can we talk. I have a problem!"
His boss gets mad and replies "I don't want to hear about your problems. We are an opportunity based company. We don't have problems we have opportunities to improve. Do you understand?"
The man thinks and then replies "yeah, I get it."
"great now tell me what you wanted to talk about, and you better not use the word problem!"
"well.. Based on what you said, I have a huge drinking opportunity"
Ludicrously bad wording, a CEO really should have realized that there's situations corpo speak isn't the right choice
Whaaaat
Capitalism man the game doesn't stop for some raped kids...
I was going to say just that. That system is beyond fucked up. It's just unethical.
This guy has a certificate in SWOT analysis and he is gonna use it
He's already a paedo himself, so this isn't surprising. He looks young, but I think there's a huge reason for it.
What a clickbait headline
How is it click bait?
Edit: You just downvoted me and didn't answer, so you have none and just like talking.
He literally said it. And then dodged the followup questions multiple times.
He didn't answer how it's click bait, he just downvoted you and me. I think he's upset that child predators can't get away with things.
