Unify loves and favorites.

AnAccount_StopAsking

The things the ST were thinking when implementing these were pure equal. I simply see no reason why these supportive features must come in 2 options that virtually serve the same core purpose.

So if loves and favorites are just both showing support, why do we need them as seperate?

PROS:

Cuts out an unnecessary feature without damaging the original premise too much

CONS:

Would totally destroy most voting projects

Hopefully this doesn't go down another rusty drain.

No support, favouriting a project means you want to show it on your profile and loving a project means you like the content. They are too different to merge.

Nothing here.

Should favorites be called “shoutouts” then? Metaphorically, you got a tool that only cuts a half off the wood.

No, most people don't want to give someone a shoutout, sometimes I just favourite a project so people know what content I like.

Nothing here.

Okay, but if that's the use of the favorites, doesn't that just make loves pointless? A favorite could show support just as easily as a love.

No, maybe you want to show the creator you like the project but not want to feature it on your profile.

İt really isn't necessary to unite them there's no reason. Like -EmerandThunder- said:

Making games on Scratch and learning other engines/frameworks. Also likes to make music using trackers.

You are using extensions, aren't you?

The only difference is displaying it on your profile, which if you ask me would not severely cripple Scratch should it be removed.

no support–some people want to only love a project without favouriting it–and vice versa.

this is my page

I'm not active on scratch anymore, I moved on.

I think loves and favorites were the same thing before they removed “Projects I loved” count.

That does not change the core purpose.
