WUT. IS. WRONG. WITH. DA. TAGS. THESE. DAYS.

I couldn’t help but notice that literally every single popular animator is not just tagging their animation with #All and #Animations , but with every single other tag like #Music and #Tutorials AND IT’S DRIVING ME INSANE! C’mon, we have “pancakes be like” IN THE GAMES SECTION! And “Comment Animations” IN THE ART SECTION! This is why I always check popular, not trending. I know several scratchers who do this, but naming them would most likely cause a flame war. WHY AM I THE ONLY SCRATCHER WHO IS CONCERNED ABOUT SCRATCH REPUTATION BEING TAKEN AS NOT A CODING SITE, BUT A SOCIAL MEDIA SITE! Great job you-know-him test. /sarc

More tags = more exposure = more views = more dopamine

Or so the logic goes. I suppose people who plaster their own projects on as many search results as they can like the egotistical maniacs they are fail to consider that people don't search “music” to see Generic Relatable Animation #12895337.

most of the people on trending are like that nowadays. try some of the older animators, like sharkyshar or huntedskelly. at least in their day this tag nonsense didn't exist

good god I feel old

Yeah, that's a bit of an abuse of the system that will eventually make it useless if it continues. It's also against the Community Guidelines - the part about “being honest”. Furthermore, it's also against the Terms of Use - the part that talks about interfering with the service (3.5). So feel free to link anybody you see doing that to this topic so they become better educated. You may also use the Report button and explain that they are abusing tags.
