Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is that popularity is one of the reasons humans have issues. Junk by a famous person gets more views than a Scratch gem made by a non-famous person gets.

I'm ot allowed to flame you about MTV being bad or good, but can I flame you about this?

Not that I would, but that is just asking for a flame. People on Scratch are famous because their stuff is good, and "good" is an opinion. And no need to be all profound about this. I could sum up that whole TL;DR post in 2 sentences.

I'm going to provide you with two examples. I'm not going to say the name of the creator, but you should be able to figure it out.

There was one of a spinning cat; more than six hundred views.
One of The creator saying there were two hidden meanings in the project, all of a sudden THE GAME.

That one has at least eight hundred. Deserving? I think not.  hmm

It was made by a famous person, famous for making good stuff. If he wants to throw a few crackpots in there and end up being a proven point, good for him. And the spinning Scratch cat, can't you take a joke? It's funny.  lol

But 600 views?  hmm ....

I was doing that stuff before I even made my first game, which was major junk.

This topic seems to kind of spinning out of control. Closing topic.
