I am not being insulting to scratchers, this is just what i hate about what scratch has become. Im just being upfront and honest. 1st Topic: I am annoyed with the way other scratchers that have many followers and fans treat scratchers with not a lot. Compared to how scratch is supposed to be, just people commenting and colaborating on cool projects and projects they can try to make. But now it is a place for teens and tweens that have no social life to come and make one online and have to lie about their age and appearance. I bet some people are 9 or 10 and get so much attention. There are so many scratchers that are unseen that have soo much potential but the scratchers that actually have followers just have friends that told friends and have asked for f4f all their life. Also, why are there fans of people who just get attention? Why do you need a mailbox to message me? People are practically acting like or trying like to be celebrities and its not showing out well. Just make projects and have fun! Don't complain about f4f! You 've personally probably done at least five and then pleaded the i help you accounts to like and comment on all your projects! @astrotears and @griffpatch are skilled, but they have been working hard and built a commmunity! not singling out @astrotears, but why does she think shes famous? no one cares if your famous on scratch! shes built a total fandom and mailboxes and treated it like your a celeb! Topic 2: f4f is fine. everyone has done it before, including me. even the most famous scratchers probably have. Some people want to use that to at least get a decent amount of followers. so what? let them do it. its none of your business to go and judge. Why do they need or want to? none of your business. making projects on how its wrong is literally just accusing people that are new that they suck and did the wrong thing. shut up already and mind YOUR OWN business. to me, its really not that hard. f4f is basically asking people to follow you and you will follow them. it is benefiting both scratchers, causing them to have more followers and get more attention. doing this makes all scratchers get equal attention and feel good about their skills and their creativity and work put into projects.
