It's over. They updated anyway. Does anyone think that the update improved Scratch? I'll keep this up just to document some of the community's reaction to 3.0, and so we can have a disscussion of 3.0 in the commnets.
When I first joined Scratch most of it was coding, there was a small art community, but the popular stuff was mostly coding. Now it's art, you can really see the change in the featured projects, which are more art related then they use to be. Some are even speedpaints. An animator can more easily gets 300 followers, but most coders are at 100 or below. Scratch doesn't seem to care about these small accounts. I mean, the "recently shared" tab that I use to look at to find people to follow is gone. And it's hard to find people! You have to hop profiles or search for something. (Hopping profiles is going to someone you are following and following some of their followers, then following that person's and so on.) Why isn't there a "Recommend Tab" or even a "just shared" tab? Why does it push big projects to get even bigger? That doesn't make much sense to me, why aren't the tabs on the homepage to help some small users, not to bring the popular more followers? Along with that, I think when someone creates an account there should be an extra bit that explains what art theft is, and that the users shouldn't do it. A lot of the new users see the number of recolors and think that this is what Scratch is about and that it's okay. The reporting system is garbage, I got reported for explaining what depression feels like. How is that inappropriate? And a project that said that people that are depressed are just lying, is still up?? Scratch seems to be trying to keep depressed/stressed people out, reporting them for standing up for themselves, for venting, and letting the bullying of them continue. If your projects are happy they might get featured, but if it explains the common symptoms of suicide and how to prevent deaths, then be careful to not get reported and banned! Oh, you want to leave Scratch? You want to give out your DA, or literally anything? REPORTED! And now the 3.0 "update"... Scratch loves to fix things that don't need fixing and continues to ruin what made Scratch good. The update makes it harder to animate and has lost many of its users. The Scratch community is a whole lot more friendly than Deviantart, but it's the immature users that make it less fun. But the Scratch Team needs to realize what us, the users, want. If after the 3.0 update is launched no one gets on Scratch for a week, they'd certainly have to notice. I don't want to move to Deviantart. But at least DeviantArt doesn't report you for being depressed. I think we should protest the new update when it comes out, if anyone has any ideas comment them below! EDIT- I came back on to 52 messages. Wow, I didn't think this would get viewed by more than 10 people. Thanks for all your comments, loves, and favorites! Sorry, but I'm not going to be replying to most comments, I'm still reading them though! Edit- How does this have 34 loves??? Edit- Anyone who is reporting others' comments, or silencing others is not welcome here. EDIT- 400 people saw this?? EDIT- 756??? How. Songs~~Youth and Soap Drawing~~ Scratch Cat belongs to Scratch.
