Scratch Studios in 3.0 - Pros and Cons

I know lots of people are talking about this, but I wanted to say some things too. I just want to explain what I see as good and bad. Please, if you disagree, explain. I'm happy to talk about other viewpoints.

Really, the only thing I like is the new studio look, although people are saying it looks awful on mobile devices. I wish that the website's style was a bit more consistent though. The studios have a very different style than most of the website (“my stuff” for instance).

Now about studio functions, well, I am extremely frustrated with the new design.

1: The comment reply limit: It really doesn't affect me much, but I see why people are frustrated. There are lots of roleplaying groups on scratch, and having to constantly move to new reply chains would be annoying.

2: Manager Limit: I really don't see any reason for this. I just can't understand.

3: Manager Privileges: The point of being a manager is so that you can manage the studio. Managers are now literally just curators with a better title. Some people have said it's to protect against raids but look, if you don't want raids don't promote anyone. It's as simple as that. At least before, we had the option to take the risk. And now, if the Studio Creator is inactive or banned, the studio is stuck forever.

4: Follower count: I know it's to stop lag, but I don't really get why that number would lag the studio out. The follower count used to be a great way to tell if a studio is decent. Most quality studios easily have +100 so that number won't help much anymore.

I really want this fixed. I believe the ST had good intentions, but I do not think they had good results.
