I thought they said the same thing when people say the moderation was “AI” without providing a source to prove that.

I agree (Giving benefits to the rank), but I also strongly disagree (there is no Member rank)

sure there isnt a rank, but every time your name is even MENTIONED, such as project by (name), (name) did this, forum post by (name),

They will not remove it because you have already paid for it, and if i'm not mistaken (I did not read their license) then they will have to give a refund, which they won't do because of how much effort will be put into it. IF YOU ARE A SCRATCH TEAM MEMBER, I WOULD LIKE IF YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION

the funny thing is, this is more fuel to the fire that is satch. That's besides the point
they need to undo this to #bringbackoldscratchcat.
it looks horrible on most profile pictures anyway, both the badges and the ears. they didn't even change the profile picture for @scratchteam

What if everyone on Scratch just collectively decided that the membership was lame, and to shame people for buying it

I just thought of another piece of criticism: People who are new to the website will also misunderstand the meaning of “member”, they will think it means that the user is a part of the Scratch Team or someone who works on the site/scratch itself and so then again “are more likely to check their profile”.

Dear Friends,

When we launched Scratch 18 years ago, our goal was to create a space where children could learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. We designed a new type of programming language and also a new type of online community, so that young people could create and share projects based on their interests – and learn new skills in the process.

Today, Scratch has reached a scale we never imagined, expanding learning opportunities for millions of young people around the world. As we look ahead, the Scratch Foundation is now squarely focused on building a sustainable organization, so that we can continue to evolve the platform, support the community, and keep Scratch free forever.

As new artificial intelligence technologies proliferate through society, it is becoming more important than ever for young people to develop the most human of their abilities – their creativity, curiosity, and empathy – so that they can deal creatively, thoughtfully, and collectively with the challenges of a fast-changing world. We are now developing a new generation of Scratch, called Scratch 4.0, that integrates generative AI into the Scratch platform in ways that will support (not replace) young people’s creativity.

At the same time, we are building a sustainable non-profit infrastructure that will blend philanthropic partnerships, licensing, and mission-driven earned-revenue strategies to support our dramatic growth and ensure that millions of young people can continue to create, connect, and learn on our free Scratch platform.

I think all three badges (cat ears, profile page icon, and Member tag) should replaced with the following:





Can we all agree on this? This shares with the public that the user is a member, but doesn't scream it everywhere they go.

As someone with the Membership, I'm going to say this is somewhat true. I'm not sure they think I'm a Scratch Team member, but for some reason people keep following me.

I've gained more followers in this day than I have per the other days. It's so ridiculous that you can gain followers over this.

Yeah, I feel like it's unfair to people who either don't want to get the membership or can't get the membership for whatever reason. This kinda strengthens the point we've been making
Also.. I'm horrified
