This is not what Scratch is meant to be though? We shouldn't do this as it locks main-site features behind a paywall which is not Scratch's goals.

This. Scratch is non-profit and is meant to be free for all, no buts. Sorry, but I don't agree with changing this philosophy at ALL.

[redspacecat]

I disagree with this as a paywalled status/rank is very clearly rejected by Scratch itself. Please reconsider.

Agreed, also donation badges have been rejected too :/

With all due respect, please at least consider the perspectives of those against this. A lot of people above this post and in this Scratch forum thread have shared their insight and I think it's worth taking a look at. https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/851600/

It's worth noting I also don't think this is a good idea, but complaining here is just going to get this thread locked.

[pizzawiz]

I personally don't think this is a good idea, but mrsrec is right. If this ever actually gets implemented, I'll complain then.

This is some straight up bull. Ever since Scratch gained independence from LLK and MIT, y'all have been goin' downhill and become some money hungry, testing-AI-on-kids, ethically and morally corrupt, scoundrels. Who in God's green earth told y'all to go against the original 2003 philosophy? You should be able to donate to Scratch without setting a community on fire because you have cat ears on your profile and other users don't. I understand Scratch needs money but adding paywall features even in small bits is just gonna end badly especially considering Scratch was always meant to be free. Instead of spending your donation money on AI just so you can stay up with the trends, hire more moderators, fix bugs that have existed for years, finish the 3.0 pages, actually peep the "Suggestions" forum, and respond to "Contact Us" emails.
