They'll be back in the NGP update (what do you expect from high-quality, hand-picked projects)

Same… Not to mention they won't stop adding parallax projects…
Also the fact that old projects made by inactive users show up makes the explore page into an advertising garden.

Indeed! We should be able to propose projects to be explorable. These old projects aren't show what Scratch is truly capable of and showing outdated animations!

Exactly.

I've known about the explore page fixes since they announced NGP. Still though, they could at least show some better projects for now…

They just promote random bad projects

Okay, I found out that the explore page usually updates roughly every 5 minutes. Sometimes it can be 8 or something. (Might be my PC going to sleep.) If it lands on 5, it is JUST below 300 seconds. like 299.995 seconds. I just made something in turbowarp using extensions that checks the explore page for changes. I have the logs, but the minute part was bugged (forgot to add timer to divide by 60 block) so here you go!

This is in UK time so you may need an converter.

Interesting….

Now weirder stuff is happening.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but sometimes the explore page and search stop working.
I wonder if they might be updating it…
I'm pretty sure the first time they did it, the page was updated to show SLIGHTLY more projects.
The studios part on the explore page actually does seem to work when the other things are broken, somehow.
