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.

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/

Regardless of how I or other community members feel about this idea, complaining here will not change it and is just going to get this thread locked.

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

Unsupport, don't add this as a paywalled feature. Scratch is always free, and Scratch Membership is not "Scratch Premium".

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.

No, please no
ST plz don’t add this

anit no way that it passed the check

Hi folks! Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I appreciate that you care a lot about Scratch and its future. Please see this issue for a message about membership features like this.

cwillisf, that link doesn't seem to work on my end.

Thanks for the assistance, @pizzawiz! The link should work now.

Pretty sure there's an extension that does the same thing for free. And since the Scratch Team seems to be against users using browser extensions, I don't think this would be a good idea. Just my take, I think the sprite packs are cool but this is iffy and would encourage more Scratchers to use browser extensions.

@leotimechannelorg Actually, no, they didn't ban using browser extensions, they only banned advertising browser extensions or mentioning the names of browser extensions on Scratch. Because they were concerning about the browser extensions, they scared that they might be collecting personal informations, especially kids. Remember the Blocklive incident? That's the reason.
