I noticed ROBLOX has ads that link to viruses or explicit content. With Google ads, ROBLOX is limited to what they can block and allow. This is a reason as to why ROBLOX should make a custom ad system.
If ROBLOX had their own ad system, they can generate more ad revenue (because they get to set their own price for ads), have full control over what ads display (since ROBLOX is a kids game, they most likely would want only content relating to people under the age of 15), and guarantee that the ads don't link to anything malicious.
SiteAdvisor, a plugin made by Mcafee marked the /forum/ directory "dangerous", which means that the site either hosts/links to malicious content (viruses, e.t.c.). This is due to the ads on the forum, the site itself is ok. Think of how many people click on the ads on each page - think about how many of those clicks link to malicious content. People don't know what the ad may link to - a common rogue, ransomware, adware, redirecting plugin/virus, a phishing scam - you'd be surprised on what criminals do to make you download their program
ROBLOX wouldn't be the only one with a custom ad system - Facebook, Twitter, and other big companies use custom ads. Facebook is a good example on how to run a custom ad system. Spotify is another company that uses a custom ad system - except it is not only picture ads but audio ads as well.

A ROBLOX ad system would be nice...
But right now...they are using Googles system. I forgot what it's called, but what ever YOU search up, it tracks and specifies relatable content. And then put's the ads up on here.
I don't think what has been searched up on your computer, but it might not be allowed on ROBLOX.

@3D
That isn't always true. I personally have Google set to not track my internet browsing, so the ads I get are random.

Thank you for the information.
But ROBLOX having it's own ad system (besides the user ads system) would be better. Completely better. |

I know this is old, but I still support this, as I remember what it was like before I had BC.
