Full Support!I don't understand “following people just to get followers”. Do you mean following a famous person then that famous person's followers start following you? If those types of people do exist, there are very few of those people, since I follow famous people, and none of my followers found me by me following a famous person, unless I interacted in that famous person's fan club or something.
I think it would be a good idea to stop people from following people just to get followers.
In my opinion, the follow limit should be 999.

Sonic SaysHey there, I'm sonic__fan. I just look for good suggestions to add to Scratch.
Every world has its end. I know that's kinda sad, but, that's why we have to live life to the fullest in the time we have. At least… that's what I figure.

It's really pathetic and I don't think it should be encouraged at all. The first time I remember seeing something like this was in 2015, so it's not a new issue either.

I support this. There is nothing good about following a bunch of random users you have no interest in.
100% agree with that. I have seen a lot of accounts who are following thousands of users in the hopes that some of them will follow back.

oh, though I spilled the beans that the limit is 10K, there is still a discussion:
1. Will the ST change the limit?
2. If so, will it be higher or lower?
3. Why is it forbidden to follow three people in 1 minute?

Some time, that can be a good idea when follows turn to subs, but mainly, why?
I am leaving scratch soon, because of many changes in scratch recently I don't really like, sorry.
Take care.

Many people love to show support for Scratchers they like. If there were a lot, the limit would stop them from following them.
Accounts that randomly follow users are actually kind of nice. One follow can make someone's day. Followers are usually the motivation for Scratchers.
F4F is a great way for people to get followers. Even though it has a bad reputation, a huge amount of Scratchers have done it at least once, and many users do a lot of F4F. Overall, F4F is useful.

Yes, people do love to show support for Scratchers they like, but following over 200 users is ridiculous. There is no way to keep track of over 200 people. The whole point of limiting the amount you can follow is to reduce the stress of people desperately trying to get popular. No support.

I don't think doing F4F's provides any sort of good motivation. Earning real followers is a completely different feeling than doing F4F's. Doing F4F's is great when you are starting Scratch fresh, but it is ridiculous and repetitive to do F4F's getting near 100 followers.
The follower limit really needs to be done. I can't stress enough that people are actually doing F4F's even though they have hundreds or thousands of followers.

I think this follow limit is too low, I think a lot of people will hit it very easily without being a follow bot. I don't even think follow bots are bad, they give confidence to users. F4F is not an issue on scratch either, if you don't want to do f4f, just delete or politely decline the request. f4f also gives confidence out, making it somewhat educational.
All suggestions are unnecessary. If a suggestion is necessary then it's a bug report.

1000 is very very easy to accunulate. Over aboubt a year I've followed 959 people. I haven't actively searched out people I just follow people who seem cool. There are already accounts following more than the current limit so imagine all the accounts over 1000 which could confuse people

I was gonna say this exact thing but I guess I’m just going to refer to this post. This kind of hits on the 1 and 2 of the list. No support. If people want to follow other people at random why stop them? Every one uses Scratch in different ways and why should there be policing to people who want to follow everyone in an attempt to make others happy(even if it's a weak one). Follow everyone accounts aren't hurting anyone. Before you say Scratch isn't about popularity look at the front page. It can be discouraging to be rejected curration or featured or never be top remixed/loved but those sections are still up. People can ask for F4F if they want to, if you don't just say no, however it's when they push you after you say no it becomes a problem that you can just report.
The third thing is not needed, people do f4f cause they want to!

1. f4f is fine if its somewhere it is allowed.
2. Nothing is wrong with following a lot of people
