Why did scratch remove browse followers?

The browse followers button was kind of useful… I wish it was still there. After the studio update I was looking for the button . I think its removed.. forever?
But whats the reason for it to be removed. I know that scratch is meant for education. Some people might want to invite their followers and add how to do projects. I still dont get it

People were creating invitation spam by inviting all their followers to a studio. Studios were not created as a way to notify your followers when you create a project; they were meant as a way to collaborate and add similar projects.

Yes, that is the reason!

But that is not what the majority of studios was used for.

Normally, roleplays, art clans, and other constructive studios took the spotlight.

I am unhappy with this change as well.

Right. That’s why personally I’d rather switch to a system where people who want to become a member of a studio have to request to curate first.

It was creating spam for other people, as people would just invite all their followers quickly and it might get annoying.

Hope this Helps!

it was making spam, and people were getting annoyed by it.

personally, I want it back, I just ignored a studio if i didn't want to join, I feel like other people can do the same thing. But, whatever.

If an “invite all” button existed, people with several followers could constantly spam it to annoy their followers.
