Think of all the unpaid labor that people perform on behalf of social networks though.

Sure, they get value out of it (I guess?) but the platform makes money off of it, and the creator does not.

Roblox could work that way too, and if kids today are anything like kids when I was one, there would still be a ton of content created regardless of compensation.

I think it's good that Roblox pays out. They don't have to.

But I'd never be stupid enough to call it a "gift" in the presence of a reporter. Where was the PR minder??
