Trivia[]
This section is a trivia section. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections of the article.
- The reason why 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 grew so sharply is because a lot of modern Roblox YouTubers started to play Roblox, and their audiences also started playing as well.
- Roblox also hit a peak of new users during the COVID-19 pandemic, a huge factor being stay-at-home orders.
- In between 2022 and 2023, Roblox had issues with the time and UserID being in order, which explains why there is a six ID gap separating the last 2022 and the first 2023 user. These times are based off of the API and the millisecond on which the account was made.
