Why do they have to go away? They were the one thing that made Roblox games truly stand out instead of brainrot suggestions.

I canāt make feature requests, but itād be very helpful for smaller developers if there were rewards of free advertisement credits if developers met certain thresholds of desirable things like long average playtime and numbers of concurrent players. Could be we get something like this to help smaller developers go up?

I would love that, instead of having to spend over and over to make ads. Having āadvertisement creditsā would certainly be helpful.
I donāt understand how all the devs just let this slide!!! Did EVERYONE FORGET THAT IN 2022 and before you could average around and get ~600 active with advertising for 24 fully hours. Now you get a about ~200 for a few hours. Also is roblox EVER going to adjust their home recommendations!!! Right now all the home recommendations seem to be āif this is a NEW game promote, or if this is a super POPULAR game promote!ā no middle ground! There are MIDDLE GROUND GAMES roblox!!! Sadly I doubt they care or it will take years to go back to how it wasā¦

Worry less! 
It is an amazing change indeed! I mean don;t you love when the sponsoring system is auction based and big monopolies have it much easier to grow, whereas the threshold to even start sponsoring is way above an average small developers budget! We all love it donāt we!

Nobody let it slide. Read this thread. Itās almost unanimously against the change. Roblox doesnāt care, theyāre doing it anyways. Devs donāt have any power here (especially small devs).

Canāt even begin to explain how stupid this is. Having to buy at least 10 AD credits is a horrible idea. No explanation needed.

Ah but we(roblox) donāt talk about the numbers or impressions here. We pretend we forgot and say āit brings more impressions and is an improvementā when it objectively is worse than the old system.
October 2024 update: roblox removes search results over like 30 and 70 on pc!
Are you KIDDING me roblox? Were really limiting and CUTTING off search results over like 70? (If you didnāt know roblox there are more than 30 tycoons or simulators!!!) Are we just done lying now and outright killing small games? This search system is literally awful maybe stop making it worse or even pretend to care!!!
Roblox to care about the top 300 and not just 50 in each category: impossible

Day one of asking for user ads to be brought back.

youre gonna be here for a long time bud
The now deprecated user-ad system was the most efficient & powerful advertising form as of yet. It helped me grow multiple groups & gain traction on many of my assets. I ask at the very least you consider making Sponsored Groups an option, or sponsored 2D assets.
Iāve lost 2,000 members since there is no way to advertise my group or assets (Only UGC). My only option is to advertise those through a game, which Iāve tried, does not work at all for my group type (the ad visits were botted, and other times it just hasnāt worked)

So this is why I havenāt seen ads on the sides and tops of Roblox pages recentlyā¦
Those ads helped me discover several experiences that became many of my favoritesā¦ they are one of the main reasons how I discovered and loved a lot of experiencesā¦
The new advertising system does not seem to be as effective as the old oneā¦ for one, the Sponsored section is not as noticeable as the old user-made ads that were a variety of quality.

I agree that this new advertising method is very bad, the truth is that the only thing I did was lose robuxs buying that thing and I canāt even promote my UGCs, I think they should leave it as before, it was much better and there were more fruits than now.

User ADS Were better.
but roblox prefer using an horrible system that makes smaller games harder to promote, advertise. They say āroblox is a place to connect with other usersā but the fact they removed user made ads made that sentence false, there was no reasons to remove users ads
they were small
not too screen space taking
and Iāve never seen any inappropriate user ad
and they were efficient unlike theses horrible in-game ads

User ads were more effective and representive. The OG sponsor/ad system was far better. Todays picks is THE MOST BROKEKN SYSTEM ON THE PLATFORM. Comparing today roblox to roblox of 2 years ago is a blow out for monoplies. Its not even the same.
2022: Fun ads representing small games and many sponsors and it USED TO BE POSSIBLE TO GET ON CHART LISTS
2025: Todays picks showing the top 15 games over and over and tons of recomdations primarly featuring big games and every single chart list is duplicate of the same 20 games. yeah noā¦its not even close to what roblox used to beā¦ blow out for monoplies
