I don't understand how getting featured works. It seems that the only way to get views and be featured is to be popular, though the only way to get popular is through getting featured. I work really hard on my projects, and it seems no one sees them. I have made many things, but i seem to get 2 or 3 views at most. Can someone explain this? thanks.

To get featured, someone has to suggest the project to be featured here.

If you're having problems getting views, most people would suggest you join AE (add everything) studios, or do f4f or use the Show and Tell forum. My tip? Just be yourself, be an active member of the community, and make friends on Scratch.
(Doing that, I just got 50 followers!!! Yay!!! (Sorry, just really happy that 50 people like me) //offtopic.)
PS: Your projects seem interesting. I might check them out. (If I ever finish my homework )
