Roblox

Roblox is a game-making engine featuring unlikeable blocky characters. 99% of the games created by the players are completely horrendous. The other 1% is generally composed of attempts to recreate established video games inside Roblox. The messed up thing is that the actual game engine is totally fine. It is all the fault of the players who create the games, and other additions to the website. 
The game functions on a simple Robux economy. Robux is, of course, the cornerstone of the Roblox community. If you have Robux, you're in the cool kids' club. If you don't have Robux, tough luck. You have two options in the latter: 1.) spend all your money on Robux or 2.) live your Roblox life constantly in the shadow of the cooler players who splurged on Robux. 
If you haven't dumped enough of your valuable real-world income into the cesspool that is Roblox, you can also purchase Builder's Club. Builder's Club is basically a cool kids' membership that gives benefits to "developers" who want to "create" their own "game". It's a great way to throw your money away if you're into that kind of thing 
Once you've played a decent amount of Roblox, you'll notice patterns in the games that reach the front page of Roblox. First of all, we have the ever-present and ever-popular "obby" platforming games. "Obby" is short for "obstacle course" and if you've played one, you've played them all. Each obby plays out in the exact same way. You jump from platform to platform. If you miss the platform, you die. If you're lucky, the obby will at least take place in an interesting setting, but it's often just boring multicolored platforms and some JPEGs of popular cartoon characters. Incredibly lazy game design. 
Then, you have the equally common and popular tycoon-style games. You may have heard of a game called Rollercoaster Tycoon for Microsoft Windows. These are not like that. The gameplay of tycoons in Roblox is selling objects on a conveyer belt to earn money so that you can step on buttons to spend money on upgrades for your conveyer belt. They are lazy and boring, and so many of them use the same basic textures for the money-generator, buttons, etc. Unlike obbies, tycoons usually have a theme, but they are not usually well made. Most tycoons let players purchase weapons to.. kill other players who are trying to play the tycoon? I don't see the reasoning in this, but if it earns the devs more Robux, it will be done. 
Roleplaying servers are becoming popular on Roblox as well. This is a genius development strategy where you don't actually need to develop gameplay as long as you have a map for players to walk around in. The idea of these is to create a game with minimal functionality so that the players can come up with their own gameplay. This is the Roblox equivalent of giving a child a rock and telling them to "have fun!". This is the worst way to incorporate imagination into a video game to date. 
Across all genres of Roblox games, the developers will spare no expense to coax every last Roblox cent out of your Roblox wallet. No matter what the game, you will be able to spend ludicrous amounts of Robux on useless items. No low effort Roblox obby is complete without a useless VIP pass to the super-cool VIP lounge. Usually, the VIP pass gives you power-ups that let you skip the whole game part of the obby and head straight to the finish. If the VIP pass wasn't dumb enough for you, don't worry, because many games are starting to offer a Mega VIP pass as well. You can also typically waste your money on in-game "cool" items, like the famed gravity and speed coils. 
Roblox has lore, if what Roblox has can be called lore. Roblox's "founder", Builderman, is often depicted as this rolling-in-Robux gold-suited millionaire who is in the elite Roblox 1%. Roblox noobs are players lack Robux and Roblox skill (plot hole: playing Roblox requires no skill whatsoever) and are often depicted as blocky, multicolored morons with degenerate smiley faces. Bacon hairs are similar to Roblox noobs except they can have Roblox skill. Bacon hairs are characterized by their usage of the default male hair, and usually, the rest of the default male outfit. In 2017, there was a "hacking scare" featuring an early Roblox user known as John Doe. This resulted in a lot of clickbait in the Roblox YouTube scene.
