I don't feel like posting this on my main account so it's going here. I might make this a ranting account, I don't know. Too often I hear people saying "I MISS THE OLD SCRATCH!!" "SCRATCH WAS GOOD BUT NOW IT'S DYING" etc, etc, etc. Well recently I was scrolling through an old DeviantArt account's journals (this account was active from 2012-2014) and guess what I saw? Several people making complaints about Scratch! Complaints about the exact same things we complain about today, 6-8 years later! The website changing! Art theft! Bullying! Impersonation! People leaving! People getting popular unfairly! None of these are new problems at all. Scratch has ALWAYS HAD a lot of toxicity and issues. But people are acting like they just sprung up out of nowhere, saying "I miss the old days of Scratch when everything was good!" That's what the people back then said too. I literally saw one of them say "I miss the golden days of Scratch when everyone was just a kid having fun" Scratch was never perfect. You might have THOUGHT it was perfect when you first joined, but it had its problems just like it does now. So stop wishing to go back to a "better past" and instead, work toward a better future. You got this :)
