Most of us recall 2019 - The year when Scratch is a beautiful nation. Thousands of cheerful Scratchers code, create, collab, and contribute to a prosperous society. Scratch, restated over and over again, is a place for fun and for scratchers to interact with one another. Sadly, it has been a disgusting, fame-filled hideout since 2020. It all started in the second half of the year when rumors spread that some fellow scratchers started copying, resharing, even impersonating. The severity of the issue of generic games had only skyrocketed, despite the effort devoted by lots of kind scratchers. The Explore trending page became a place only for generic platformers and animations. Then things started getting even disastrous. For the first time ever, foul language appeared on Scratch. F4F was minted. Feedback became an advertising strategy. Spam occurred. Collabs failed. Famous and potential-filled Scratchers abandoned the website. Projects with any true talent were deserted. A project that only contained a square, grass, and spikes could get up to 5000 loves. A platformer that was an exact copy of others and only colors were changed got on trending. Is this what we are looking for? I am writing not to spread hate, but to urge the Scratch community to Stop generic. Stop hate. Stop advertising. Stop fame. Start coding. I sincerely hope we can create a way better future. For us. For Scratch. @coolbutterfly11 and others supporting this Tags: #SSH #MSB #SSAD #SF4F #SRS #SSF Spread this message with the best you can do by adding this to related studios, etc. ---------------------- Remix this.
