Lazarbeam dropped this one-liner on Twitter that basically summarizes modern family life. The nephew wanted Lazarbeam to be a Roblox YouTuber for free in-game items for himself. No effort, whatsoever, to hide that ugly agenda. Kids, today!
The tweet came with a lovely screenshot of the chat, where the nephew (whose profile picture is of Lachlan, another huge YouTuber-these ties just keep getting stronger) lays out this master plan. And the replies to this tweet, well… they really set the atmosphere.
Currently, the gaming community is split. Some are like, “Respect the hustle,” and “That’s how you secure your spot as the favourite uncle,” and that really is a good statement. The kid knows how to use connections. “Classic nepotism,” some say. Then others are advising Lazarbeam that this Roblox YouTuber thing “is not good” and “don’t fall for the bait, you’re stronger than this.”
Then there’s the…” situation” with Roblox. One reply even accused that “roblox’s CEO, is trying to defend pedophiles on his platform right now”- which is… there go the whole different discussion that spoils ‘let’s make content for this platform’ kind of energy.
Back to the nephew’s magnificent plan. Apparently, the kid also wants some items—for what we can only describe as somewhere in between “a garama and madungdung,” whatever those are. The names of the Roblox items are just so weird, I swear. And someone else points out that Lazarbeam’s most popular video is a Roblox one; maybe the kid’s onto something.
The whole timing thing is even funnier- “bro said this during the morning, bro woke up and knew his priorities.” The kid wakes up, and the first thing in his head was: ‘How can I manipulate my famous uncle into getting me digital goodies?’ These little kids’ sneaky operations are sometimes admirable.
There’s a whole back story about how Lazarbeam and Fresh carried Bodhi to a Fortnite win back then, assuming that’s the nephew’s name, while he played on a phone. So history! The kid would know what his uncle can do and is aiming to cash in on it for Roblox.
Further tipsters propose a compromise: “Do it but ask for something in return each time you give him something.” Or in other words, start an uncle-nephew trading system-actually pretty funny. Other people are just begging for content: “Do it. We need content” because, for real, Lazarbeam doing Roblox would 100% get views.
Then there are those harshly real replies, essentially calling this out for a reality check on how much work it really is. One person goes a little deep, “Burdened with terrible Brainrot to grant your nephew great joy. The suffering of life continues.” Dark, but also kind of true? Building Roblox-specific content might legitimately make you go insane after a while.
The whole thing is just a perfect portrayal of what happens when you have a famous relative in the gaming world. The kids of your family don’t see you as a person-they only see you as an avenue for free V-bucks, or Robux, or whatever currency is being employed in whatever game they go for. Kinda cute, yet somewhat depressing?
Then there’s the whole open-message list with 183 unread messages, which several folks point out in the screenshot. Now, that’s a whole vibe in itself. Famous YouTube problems, I suppose-everybody wants something from you, even your own family.
It’s really interesting how this metamorphoses gaming culture into the present day. Kids don’t just play games anymore-they’re all about content promoting ecosystem, economy of freebies from creators, and the ways to scurry through the system. This nephew is probably 10 years old, but he understands influencer-marketing better than some professionals.
The question is-will Lazabeam actually do it? Will he cave into the pressure and delve back into the Roblox content machine? His most popular video is Roblox, so there’s a guaranteed audience for it. But then there’s this… everything about Roblox as a platform that just casts a shadow of doubt.
This entire exchange is peak internet culture, anyway. Family dynamics, gaming, content creation, and the all-time quest for free digital items. That’s what makes observing the gaming community so….. interesting at times.
To conclude, just watching how even famous YouTubers aren’t above being used by family for clout and free stuff brought a smile. Seems like the struggle transcends income brackets.
