    I don’t think downvotes are necessary for every type of post. Art and information are personal, so if you don’t like it you should just move on.

    I think opinion pieces, advice or just wrong information are the exact reason why downvotes are needed.

    Advice with a lot of downvotes appears to be wrong. A news source with a lot of downvotes appears to misleading or false. If you post your opinion, downvotes show people disagree with your point of view.

    It works for me, and if you disagree, feel free to downvotes this comment. I don’t seem it as a personal attack.

    Edit: fyi, I upvoted your post as like the engagement on this subject.

    It sounds like you are saying making this change will help good parents be good parents be good parents while bad parents will still be bad parents. I agree.

    Your argument about not being responsible for the content your platform hosts is old. If a platform can’t moderate the content it hosts, don’t host it. Most people would even be happy with a reasonable attempt at moderation. I’m not one of those people, I don’t believe companies should profit from an unsafe product, which the prevents safe products from gaining traction as they are more expensive to run.

    If you allow user generated content in your game, you should be responsible for it.

    As for changing the rating not achieving anything, you’re wrong again. I imagine there are a lot of adults with kids who are unaware of the chat elements of Roblox and how it exposed their children to sex offenders. Changing the rating would likely cause some people to pause for thought when seeing it. It would probably limit it’s visibility on some store front. Possibly be removed from others. And if nothing else, I imagine the news cycle around having its rating changed would reach a lot of people who wouldn’t usually be aware of this.
