Roblox proved it. Fortnite is a close second. YouTube is where the money is at.

For someone missing context, why do you say YouTube is where the money is at? Help me understand.

My kids play roblox and minecraft and watch roblox/minecraft videos on youtube, hours and hours long. Some youtubers make 1 hour long movies, these 100 days on minecraft sagas. Just to put into perspective there are basically ongoing minecraft/roblox soap operas on youtube... Amazon has even picked up on this... My kids even make a few tiktok and youtube videos and have gotten huge engagement. Even the youtubers who do (in real life) IRL videos adopt things from minecraft/roblox /among us.

It is absolutely unreal.

Minecraft is more than a decade old at this point, but I’ve yet to see anyone over the age of 16 be interested in this kind of content. I’m not convinced that this will appeal to anyone but children
