Remix crediting broken

My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 84.0.4147.125, No Flash version detected (but that shouldn't matter)

So I was looking at random projects and saw this project. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary at first, it's just an animation. But this project is actually the second in a line of remixes, and the original project is not linked. Only the direct project that the project of note is remixing shows up. I also checked THAT project's remixes, and none of them link to the original project.

Sorry if this was badly worded.

By the way, I can't really do anything about it. None of the projects are mine.

UPDATE: I made a remix of the project, and it didn't link to the original project (the very original, not what I remixed.) I also made a remix of what the problematic project was remixing, and it didn't link to the original.

I don't think the problem has to do with the contents of the project, by the way. It's just animation timed to music.

animation meme.This happens with a lot of projects, when you click on it it shows credit anyhow.

aII toasters toast toast, but what happens when there are no longer toasters being produced? will their technology simply become obsolete, with humans moving onto bigger, better things? will toast become a distant memory, written in textbooks of the future as foods us simpler generations ate? who's to say! society is constantly moving, changing, evolving, ideas being built upon, improved upon, theories being proven or disproven. are we but a blip on the timeline? sure, our names may not be remembered, but that's not the point. you can make a change. you can make a difference. you can make the world better, even if you don't know yet. and the first step is to go for it. even if you are afraid of failure. going back to the example of toasters, do you know off the top of your head who invented them? no? have you used one? probably. so, even if you don't remember my name, if I was able to help awnser your question, that is enough. if I was able to help you, even in the slightest way, this could push you to continue with scratch and not give up after the program crashes, and maybe one day learn other programming languages and change the world. everything is a cause and effect reaction, new inventions lead to the technology of the future, and even as the generations of the past are slowly forgotten, their influence lives on to this day, affecting how the world eventually turned out and how it will be for generations to come.

and, without toasters, we wouldn't have toast.

maybe it has to do with the original project that was remixed not being available anymore

no, I mean:
so this it what the remixed project you talked about looks like:

and here's what is should look like:

the 2 projects that will show up are the

1: project that got remixed and

2: the “original” project
the problem is that the “original” project that should be showing up, is gone.

so it's supposed to be showing up, but since the original project isn't there, we end up with this:

-long explanation that you can just read the above post for-

This isn't true, each project in the remix path is available. I've taken a screenshot and circled the path.

So there's no reason why it can't show the original.

It's supposed to show the (no longer available) original plus the last remix before it (but since the original project isn't available, it hides that part). The “original” you showed is a remix of the unshared original (move down and you'll see).

Did you mean shared original?
