Follower Count Improvement Idea
I have realized that many people are so obsessed with followers that they don't realize they're people out there that don't follow them. You can't only look at people who appreciate you, nor can you only look at people who don't appreciate you, you have to look at both. For example, there could be 2 people,“A” and “B.” A could have 10 followers and B could have 100 followers. But what if only 20 people have seen person A and 1,000 people have seen person B? This would mean only a tenth of the people who see B follows him (about), while half the people who see A follow him. This would mean person A is more appreciated although he has less followers. My idea is that next to follower count, Scratch Team could have a people seen this profile and what percent followed them. As you can see, followers don't define your appreciation on Scratch, it's really not number, more ratio.

I somewhat agree with this idea, but then tons of people would have a extremely low ratio. For example griffpatch has over 700000 followers, but only maybe a quarter of the people are actually even active. Also, many old scratchers or namesnipes would have a low ratio such as @ffred, who has many ST members following him, tons of followers, but still doesn't get much views.

I meant that if a account views your account and at least on of your projects, they will be counted in the ratio. For example, if 10 people viewed your account and some of your projects, and 5 of them followed you, you would have a ratio of 1:2 of 50%.

As you can see, followers don't define your appreciation on Scratch, it's really not number, more ratio.This can be found on Scratchviews. This should be closed, I think it's an old topic that why we have scratchviews. Plus seeing the ratio might make some people feel bad, and F4F would ruin it.
