Allegations of Inflated Metrics
alleges inflated user metrics, including daily active users and engagement time, by counting bots and alternative accounts as singular users.
The report claims Roblox's average daily engagement is overstated, with Hindenburg's technical consultant finding users spent about 22 minutes daily on games, contrary to Roblox's reported 2.4 hours.
Concerns Over Child Safety
Hindenburg's report and a Bloomberg investigation highlight concerns over Roblox's ability to prevent predators, citing arrests and grooming incidents facilitated by the platform.
Despite the allegations, Roblox maintains its user growth and engagement metrics, alongside its commitment to platform safety, while disputing the accuracy of Hindenburg's claims.
