No support. This is basically just encouraging and rewarding clout chasers on scratch.

I am pretty sure this could be abused like how Roblox had Tix as people could easily create alts to abuse the system to have a Bits generator. Also, currency (Real or fake) has already been rejected.

I don't really see any point in adding a currency since Scratch is supposed to be accessible to everyone, and people might start beggin' for loves, favs or whatever it takes to gain bits(even if they're fake), which might be annoying.
And couldn't a person make a project that askes for an unreasonable amount of bits? That was what caused ‘Suggestion to add a digital currency’ to get rejected in the first place.

- There are only 3 times you can create a studio for free. After the 3 times, you have to use 10 bits to create a new studio to prevent spam studios. (Teacher accounts create studios for free all the time, so do student accounts)

What about people who aren't teacher/student accounts made more than 3 studios before this was added? Couldn't people make studios using alts(see quote below) that are already scratchers and transfer ownership? I don't see the need to have this added.

its going to be hard to get tons of bits from scratcher alts.

..Couldn't people use VPNs/some IP address changer?

I can’t really support it. Infinite bits mode defeats the point of working for it. And it would also limit users (especially not very popular) access.

And also for all the reasons above.

Hi, this is lion334

Sure, this would be funny and all and people would start making better Projects (maybe) to gain Bits but…

People would start tryna bypass Bits on alts, F4F would be popular as never before, Likes and Favs would also become more popular to do Like for Like and Fav for Fav.

In my opinion good Idea, but not doable due to the lack of discipline in this Community (F4F is widely used, which I think is cringe)

There would also be a ton of scammers. I could ask for 10000000000000000000000 bits. Even if you DID have that much bits. I could still put it in a forever loop. Or I could disguise it as only costing 1 bit, when in reality it could be 10000

Sorry, but regardless of what workarounds you add like infinite/editable bit amounts, we don't think a virtual currency is a good fit for Scratch. Gamifying parts of your experience, especially social actions, tends to get people fixated on the number more than the enjoyment of making projects itself - and that's not what we want.
