It’s honestly disappointing how much creators are expected to keep on paying for premium just so a UGC item—especially when there’s no real way to earn that money back unless the item becomes successful. Roblox already makes a lot through other monetization systems, and constantly charging creators just to participate feels excessive.
At some point, the focus needs to shift back to supporting the community instead of squeezing more out of it. A platform that doesn’t prioritize creator satisfaction is eventually going to lose the very people who keep it alive.
