I recently got featured. (Project in case you want to see it: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1077248099/ ) For the first time. Yes, I got the usual "cool" and "fun game" comments, but also a surprising amount of advertisements, people saying "how did this get featured?" and hate. I read every comment, deleted every ad, reported every hate message and thanked every person who told advertisers and haters to stop, but it's tiring. Honestly, I think the Scratch community has a huge problem. I put no ads, in uppercase letters, on the top of the description. I told them to go somewhere else. I added a link to the Show and Tell forum. I asked them not to complain about it being simple. I wrote that I didn't ask the ST to feature it. My project doesn't have 300 blocks. I didn't use complicated scripts and didn't add lots of features. I didn't spend hours coding it. But I'm sure I did spend hours deleting ads and reporting hate. The ST was aware it wasn't a complex project, but they decided to feature it anyway. I've seen ads before. I've seen hate before. But reading every comment in a featured project made me realize how big this problem is. Changing isn't hard: just read the descriptions before running a project, advertise in the Show and Tell forum and in Add Anything studios, and don't give destructive and useless feedback. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if you got featured and everyone began commenting "my project is better than yours". Instead of saying "How is this featured?", say "This is quite simple for a featured project" Instead of saying "This is bad", give suggestions to improve it. Instead of saying "Bruh this doesn't work" try to explain the issue. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Thank you for reading this. #StopTheHate Edit: Thank you so much for the support. The Scratch community is amazing sometimes. ❤️
