There is 1 problem with show and tell, which I know of, which is a demographic of Scratchers are just here to play games, I mean some of them don't even have an account, I have been here for 5 years, and I barely used it until about a year ago. So for a while, when I was a bit more desperate, I found that posting ads in the comments section was quicker, and better because you get to advertise to EVERYBODY, instead of just the Scratchers who have been here for a while. Also, in the show and tell section, I don't think a lot of people go here to PLAY games, just to ADVERTISE them, which kinda defeats the purpose of the whole studio. So I had a few ideas for how scratch could deal with it.
1: The new search engine STINKS!
I can't find a lot of my games by their actual name, which I don't understand, but it also means that a bunch of scratchers will not find your game unless they get to it from either your username, or following you, which gets kinda hard when people usually follow you BECAUSE of your games or other projects.
2. Add recommended games
A good idea for scratch is to add a recommended games bar like youtube, but sort it differently, not by views or loves or favorites, by how recently it was edited, and also by similar tags. This would make it so everybody's game has a chance, as long as it is still being worked on!
3. Make a (Advertized Games) tab on the front page
Basically, once every month, you get 3 Ad tickets, what are they for? You use the ad tickets to get your game Advertized on the front page, but, you can only advertize 3 times, every month, (1 ticket per game). Also, maybe if the game has over 1000 views the ticket price increases or something to make it equal. But anyways, the tab would be under the (FEATURED) tab, so that way EVERYBODY would see it
So there are my stupid ideas.

Strategies:I kinda put one of my games in like… 1,000,000 other studios (about 5 to be exact)
Studios: Without spamming it, you could find studios that accept any projects and post it. There are some studios for projects with under 10 likes, you can start there
Signatures: If you use the forums often (Which you probably do since your reading this) you can put a link to your projects in your signature, just remember not to over do it.
Tags: You'll see in the corner of the description, there is a way you can tag your project. When adding a tag, don't add random names, add relavent names, then people will be more likely to see your project
With out passion you don't have energy, with out energy you have nothing.

I'd really like somebody to actually… see my games. Here are my records:You can copy and paste a link on a message and then hit submit! :D Btw my old account just Reached 55 followers and I got 45 love and 37 favorites! :D
Views: 30.
Loves: 2.
Favorites: 2.
Comments: 5.
Remixes: 1.
So if somebody could check out my games and force me to edit this, that would be great.
(Also, I need to know how links work. Still unsure.)

Hey, I've got a studio for some of the best games on Scratch, and I need help finding more games. If you have one you would like to add, or have played one you think is cool, leave me a comment on the studio The Legendary Gamers, or on my profile. I also have a simple project called Fish Hunter, which you can fell free to remix, as long as you give me credit in the description. Thanks!

Hey everyone. I am somewhat new to Scratch, but I have already created my own programs and studio. The studio is called The DragoKnights. It's basically where anyone and everyone can post their programs and be enjoyed by others. However, since I'm still somewhat new, my studio isn't very popular, but I'd like to change that. Please help me with my studio so everyone can enjoy Scratch to the fullest. One of my personal programs is a game called Scratch Catch; please check it out. Also, don't forget to show your love and support to your other Scratchers. Anyways, that's pretty much what I wanted to say. If you have any questions or comments, please comment on my studio, and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Sincerely, joshuariddell
