Transcripts

Roblox is starting to terminate accounts

that do this specific thing Roblox is

doing something on August 22nd that

could end pretty badly hm is giving away

10 million Roo and so much more stuff in

today's video that I want to talk about

because uh today we have a ginormous

video but before I get into all that I'm

just going to Simply ask you to

subscribe because whenever you subscribe

it makes my day a gazillion times better

but yeah without further Ado let's get

into the video cuz there's a lot of

stuff to talk about with the first story

being a brand new emote now this usually

isn't a big deal but it kind of into

something I talked about in my last

video because this emote is in reference

to Charlie XCX so I guess like Charlie

XCX is not just going to be partnering

with rest to impress he's also I guess

just you know partnering with Roblox in

general because there is now an emote

for the Apple Dance I think this is a

Tik Tok thing like this is a Tik Tok

Trend right now where people do this

dance like the the song Apple I think I

don't know and yeah it's now in Roblox

which is pretty cool to be honest and

it's also pretty trendy like I don't

know this is like a very trendy thing to

add to Roblox right now but yeah now we

can move on to the next story which uh

just happens to be this right here which

which there's not a lot of info with

this but it is interesting okay so

Roblox RTC tweeted out this popular

video clipping software metal TV is

coming to Roblox like what exactly does

this mean are they just making like ugc

items like what's going on here also if

you don't know what metal is somehow

it's an application that you install on

your computer and it allows you to like

clip the last like 10 15 30 seconds of

what just happened it's a very popular

software that a lot of people use to

kind of like capture memories and cool

clips and video games and stuff I

personally don't don't use it but I I

think it is pretty cool and uh

apparently it is coming to Roblox in a

interesting way I don't know how I don't

know why but it seems pretty cool a lot

of people are pretty hyped about this I

also don't know if this is worth hyping

uh up because I don't know what's going

to happen when they come to Roblox like

are they going to add just items like

what what's going on here I need more

information RTC apparently they have a

group but like that that's not that big

of a deal I don't know but without

further Ado we can move on to the next

story which just happens to be price

floors because apparently price floors

are changing once again again so aside

from the prices going up a little bit as

of the last time I talked about this

there is a new update to how price

floors are going to work on August 22nd

and basically it is this beginning

August 22nd Dynamic price floors will

begin applying to bodies and heads

uploaded to the Avatar marketplace now

this is terrible okay and the reason

it's terrible is because bodies and

heads are already so expensive so uh the

having the price fluctuate is just going

to make it 10 times worse so here's like

what I'm talking about so if you go to

bodies on Roblox the minimum price right

now is 175 but on August 22nd that price

is going to fluctuate up it's not ever

going to go below 175 I think maybe it

could maybe I'm wrong here but I'm

pretty sure it will never go below 175

because the default price for it is

going to be 175 so that just sucks like

that really sucks the same thing also

applies to heads cuz heads are 75 roo as

you can see here heads are 75 the base

price for these items is already so high

so that when they add the dynamic price

floors to it it's just going to to make

the prices go even higher which really

sucks like really really really sucks

and I am not excited for this update I

think it is going to absolutely suck and

uh yeah I don't know man I hate this

update and looking through the comments

people really don't like this too now I

guess there is like the 1% chance or

maybe it's a higher percent chance I

don't know that the prices could go

below the base price that they are now

but I don't think that's how these price

floors work so this does suck okay and I

think that is how it works I think the

price can't go below what it is right

now and yeah dude everybody is so mad at

this oh God nobody is excited for this

everybody is so mad at this update and I

agree man but yeah that's kind of what's

going on here and people are not excited

August 22nd is going to be the death of

heads and character bundles dude and

honestly I do recommend you guys go and

buy like a bunch of stuff that you want

right now because after August 22nd it

has a very high likelihood of being a

lot more expensive okay I think

technically it can go under 175 but for

the most part as we've seen with many

other price floor items on Roblox it

just goes higher like it only goes

higher so uh yeah guys go buy your

bundles go buy the things that you want

right now because it seems like uh stuff

could be getting more expensive on the

22nd and that sucks that really sucks

now at the same time though character

bundles and heads probably don't sell

very often compared to stuff like hats

and whatnot so maybe perhaps they could

get a lot cheaper once this update ships

out I don't know I I genuinely don't

know we're just going to have to wait

and see what happens when the update

arrives it's honestly a 50/50 chance at

this point whether the hats whether

character bundles get a lot more

expensive or a lot cheaper along with

all of this uh literally 5 minutes ago

uh this happened as well yeah prices got

even more expensive on Roblox uh really

cool really cool guys but anyways we can

now move on to the next story which just

happens to be hasm giving away 10

million Roo so hasm tweeted out this I

will give 10 million Roo to the most

deserving reason in the replies and you

can see a lot of people trying to get

this 10 million Robux now I was going to

reply but then I realized I'm already

rich I don't need 10 million so yeah if

you guys want a shot at 10 million Robo

go reply to this tweet uh I'm telling

you right now you have no chance it

already has 5.5 th000 replies so yeah

you have literally no chance but if you

would like to try go ahead guys and uh

either way W has him that's pretty cool

but now we can move on to the next story

which just happens to be children

protesting the Roblox ban in Turkey so

I've been seeing this all over I've seen

Creek craft make videos about it I've

seen everybody make videos about this

and I find it so interesting so here's

the original tweet that I saw that says

children in Turkey are protesting the

Roblox band the video is from this

person I I don't know how to say their

name if you go the video you can see a

bunch of kids just marching along

protesting the band for Roblox and you

can see all the comments saying this is

epic and uh it's funny man I like that

stuff that's awesome but now we can move

on to the next story which just happens

to be a pretty big update if if uh if

true but this leak comes from Julian so

you already know it probably is very

true but basically Julian randomly

tweeted out Roblox group membership

bands and then after Julian then quote

retweeted that tweet saying if you don't

get it the ability to ban members from

joining your Roblox group is coming soon

to Roblox which uh is very cool this is

something that uh has not been on Roblox

surprisingly ever and now it seems like

Roblox is finally working on it which is

pretty cool I've never really had a use

for something like this but I do know

that a lot of people do usually have

uses for this like people that are

active with Roblox groups but uh yeah I

think it's a good feature it kind just

ties into the next story which is the

ban API finally being added to Roblox

because as of a couple days ago Roblox

has officially released the ban API to

actually everybody as you can see here

here's a tweet from August 12th and it

says the ban API is now available in the

Creator Hub giving Roblox creators a

simplified dashboard to ban and unban

users view a full list of those

currently banned in each user's ban

history so I think the ban API did exist

there just wasn't this page to actually

like see people's bands which uh is

pretty cool that you can now see this on

games as you can see there's a bunch of

details here where you can put in user

IDs to ban them you can set you can set

how long you want them to be banned and

you can set ban details for the public

and the private which is really cool but

without further Ado we can now move on

to the next story which is just people

apparently getting banned uh and and

saying they shouldn't have gotten banned

but uh I'm going to give them a little

bit of a news flash uh they probably

should be banned I saw a couple tweets

like this basically saying I swear to

God it's a false ban I wasn't even

playing blade ball when you go to the

ban note that is uh Linked In This tweet

it says Roblox does not permit the use

of thirdparty software to modify the

client with exploits detected in place

whatever now I've seen a plethora of

tweets basically saying the exact same

thing over the past couple days and I

initially thought like maybe these

people didn't actually hack and maybe

they got false bandn but uh no guys I'm

pretty sure they actually exploited on

Roblox and they're just too embarrassed

to admit it because if you go to the

Roblox exploiting subreddit you could

see a lot of people basically claiming

that they also got banned for actually

exploting and uh yeah here's one uh

thing right here from 5 hours ago that

says the Roblox band wave banned my main

account and as you can see this person

apparently got completely terminated for

exploiting on Roblox which is a

complaint I had in my last video about a

Roblox band wave because people were

only getting banned for like 24 hours

but I guess now repeat offenders of

exploiting are now getting permanently

deleted off of Roblox which to be honest

I think that is a little bit too too

crazy if someone is exploting on Roblox

I think they should get a long ban but I

don't know about terminating I feel like

that's a little bit uh crazy because a

lot of the people that are exploiting on

Roblox are dumb kids okay they're stupid

kids that don't know any better and if

you ban them for long enough they will

probably never exploit ever again but to

be honest at the end of the day they did

exploit so maybe they deserved it I

don't know yeah tldr Roblox apparently

upgraded their alt detection and

apparently a lot of people's main

accounts were getting banned for

exploiting which uh is very interesting

there's even more like posts kind of

saying that they got terminated for

exploiting which I don't know whether to

believe this or not but considering I've

seen seen multiple people say similar

stuff I I I'm kind of assuming that yeah

maybe Roblox is starting to terminate

people for exploiting yeah you can also

see a bunch of people just talking about

the Roblox band wave that happened

literally 40 minutes ago because yeah I

guess Roblox had a giant band wave a

couple hours ago and people are scared

of getting banned now which is kind of

funny I mean guys at the end of the day

if you just didn't exploit on Roblox you

would not have to be worrying about

getting banned okay but yeah that's

what's going on with the whole ban wave

on Roblox and uh that's it bye
