More perfect union did a really great video about the exploitation. From what I can remember the crux of the argument goes roughly like this:

Kid plays game, kid is encouraged through game to create content for game. This content created by kid is sold through game to other kids. Kid who put the work into creating this gamemode is not compensated fairly.

The video goes on to explain a lot of other exploitative practices of roblox.
