ROBLOX is currently having a big problem with CB/P2W games. The reason for this (In my opinion) is that the front page cannot be changed. There has been various discussion about Anti-Clickbait Suggestions (Eg: Remove Popular from front page (Won't happen, ROBLOX made this very clear), Fix ROBLOX's Algorithm (Again, won't happen), Strict moderation of Front Page (Would make it like your usual subreddit) etc.) But this suggestion won't require any removal/fixing of the front page, just a simple feature.

I introduce you to:

Recommend and Don't Recommend: A quick FAQ.

What is Recommend and Don't Recommend?

This new feature is a button that would appear on the page of the game you are going to play. You can click "Recommend" so that the game will appear in a separate game selection called "Your Recommendations". The Your Recommendations spot is games that you will play again. It will be higher than "Popular". It's helpful for long game plays or games with saving or a levelling system! You can share your recommendations with your ROBLOX friends to see what they think about the game!

The "Don't Recommend" button will ELIMINATE that game from your front page! If you don't like a game or find a game that is low effort or bait/switch, you can BLOCK IT FROM YOUR FRONT PAGE, FOREV- I'm kidding. You can press Un-Blacklist in order to put the game bac. The button will easily kill bad games.

Is Your Recommendations identical to Your Favourites?

Your Recommendations is DIFFERENT from Favourites for a few reasons.

1. Recommendations will be on the top of your front page. Unlike Favourites which is not in the front page, but has "If you liked "Name"" on the bottom, Recommendations will be on top of your front page, meaning you can access it from the get-go.

2. You can share your recommendations with your friends. Not only does it help your friends when hey do not know what to play, but it could help them find a good game to play.

Is the Recommend/Don't Recommend feature identical to Ratings?

The Recommend/Don't Recommend feature is not the same as Ratings. Ratings show if you like a game or not, but does not remove the game from your front page nor does it puts a game you like on a separate selection. This means despite the ratings, clickbait titles can survive.

Recommend/Don't Recommend completely targets one flaw from Ratings, it removes a game you do not like from the front page and it puts a game you like above "Popular". You can share a game you really like to your friends and make it more popular.

Will Recommended or Popular be removed from the front page?

It has already been said: Recommended and Popular will NOT be removed from the front page. This is so DevEx is effective. Recommend and Don't Recommend will NOT make Developers lose money (Well, except for the low effort devs) and instead will give developers people LIKE money.

Will sharing a game to my friends give me free money?

No. Its in the WNTS.

-More Privileges for NBC/Less Privileges for BC

If NBCers got free currency, then that would cause inflation. The ones that want free currencies are the greedy ones (although ROBLOX has been greedy themselves.)

Thanks for reading the whole way. There are some questions I might've missed. If have any questions or arguements, leave a reply here. I will reply to them!

TL;DR: Recommend and Don't Recommend are two buttons. Recommend puts the game you recommended into a private section that is higher than Popular. Don't Recommend REMOVES the game you wouldn't Recommend off the Popular section. You can see both buttons in the game you selected to play.

Besides, I recommend you read the whole thing. It gives the most detail and busts some common arguements.

"although ROBLOX has been greedy themselves."

ROBLOX is not just a game, it's a business.

@suf
Although ROBLOX is also a business, I cannot approve of some of their actions.
