I had an idea: There could be a “random” button, so when you press it, it will take you to a random project, not a famous or trending one, but one that was favourited by 95% of the people who visited it. So basically it sends you to a random project which people who view it like, making more views for underrated projects that are liked by the community. Is this a good idea?

What if people favorited an innappropriate project (for some reason)


Also this is probably rejected. (read bolded part)

7.11 “Recently Shared Projects” row on the front page
This proposed row on the front page would display projects that were most recently shared by Scratchers, in an attempt to help unnoticed Scratchers get more views. Such a feature existed in Scratch 1.4 and Scratch 2.0. It was removed for several reasons: the community did not find these projects interesting, the row would sometimes show inappropriate projects, and these new projects would often get disrespectful comments from other users. If you are interested in seeing recently shared projects, there is a “Recent” section of the Explore page; see this page.

A button or link which allows you to view a random project is also rejected for similar reasons.

99% of projects that have more then 95% of people who liked it are mostly projects with 1 view, and the person who made it liked it themselves. Theres almost no popular project that has more then 95% of people who liked it.

Exactly. Go look at most project pages- on average, less than 1/2 of everyone who viewed the project liked or favorited it. Keep in mind that you can view a project without an account (all you have to do is click the green flag), but to like or favorite it, you need a verified account.

Yep, I guess featured already does that

Also thought of that. Maybe if a project had like 10-20 views, and then 95% of people who visited it liked it?
