I and a lot of people are very passionate about Scratch! And so it annoys me when people create great projects that get featured but the comments are flooded with advertisements. 95% of the people who advertise are alts with no profile picture and that were created a couple hours ago. These accounts then create projects and start advertising them saying "I'm new, please see my project" "This is a new cookie clicker kit for everyone to use" and stuff like that, and you know the worse part? The projects are not even their own, they are projects that the alts have stolen from small creators. If alts started taking Griffpatch's projects everyone would know cause he is the biggest Scratcher on Scratch. But when alts take projects from small creators with 50 followers no one knows the alts didn't make the project! I seriously think Scratch should ban advertising and allow studios and projects to have a button that can disable the advertising block. so people can make advertising studios if they want to. Because its unfair on the people who make great projects to get bombarded with advertisement. Or I think another way to combat advertising would be to not allow new accounts to post links to projects. There are so many ways to combat advertising and Scratch needs to pick one and implement it. The alts are committing crimes (plagiarism) and receiving no punishment! And when I and other people go around calling them out they start acting like a 5 year old and saying "I just love to code, i only want to hwelp" Like no you don't want to help you are committing a crime and you are well aware of it! Scratch Team, Please do something about advertising.
Sorry about my bad angry scratch cat UPDATE: The alts basically all go around advertising the same projects they remixed right now it seems to be the "Fortnite season 4" Game that all the alts are remixing with no changes. I don't even understand the point, like are they trying to get views or trying to get featured?
