Why is paper Minecraft not shown as the most popular scratch project? It has over 13 million views, and yet is not shown as most popular when you are using the EXPLORE feature… Why? (the project that is said as most popular has *only* 3 million views) If it's a thing about giving other projects a chance, or something, than I beg to differ. The Most popular project according to the Scratch EXPLORE is ALSO MADE BY GRIFFPATCH!!!! I don't get it. Why did Scratch do that to Paper Minecraft?

probably because it… uhh…. hmm… your right

Please add on to the discussion instead of just posting that.

The algorithm might be going off of a love/favorite to views ratio. I'm too lazy to do math rn, but geometry dash may have a higher percentage of loves.
It might also be possible that Paper Minecraft was NFE'd for some reason- I can't think of why, but it would prevent it from showing in explore.

If it was purely by a love-to-views ratio, then one of my projects at my old account would be on the Explore tab. It has 1 love, 1 favorite, and 1 view

I can't think of any reason why Paper Minecraft would be NFE'd, but the rules are weird sometimes.

okay, just realizing this, but paper minecraft has 30 million views. My god, people love him. I WILL BECOME POPULAR ONE DAY!!!

I wish you luck!

Closed as resolved. (I think the Popular page under the Explore tab depends on more than just the total number of views.)

Also, Paper Minecraft isn't marked NFE, since you can search for it.
