I think it's better for filtering the messages than only making it for followers.

Maybe, however filtering messages will not allow you to receive studio activity if you’re not a curator and it will not keep a logic, currently, the studio follow button is the only follow button that doesn’t « subscribe » you to notifications

Personally, I think you should also recieve messages if you are a curator/manager in the studio, if you run the studio it's important that you get notified about what's going on in it without checking on a daily basis.

Presumably you would want to get studio notifications if you curate the studio, since as a curator you would be playing an active part in the studio’s well-being. Since curators have a larger role in a studio than followers do, it makes sense that curators would receive notifications but not followers.
I understand your logic, but I doubt that most Scratchers view curating studios this way. From my perspective, many Scratchers become curators simply to easily find a studio they are interested in or to advertise their own projects without having to search manually. While some curators may indeed play an active role in a studio’s well-being, many others see curating as a convenience rather than a commitment.

Additionally, applying the same logic could be good, and it would allow you to receive studio activity without being curator

As for a couple of specific points you make: note that there is already a “real” utility to following studios: the studio is displayed on your profile.
I agree that following a studio has some utility, but is it truly impactful? Displaying a studio on your profile is mostly aesthetic, and while it can be used to showcase banners, its practical use seems limited. Providing followers with relevant notifications would make following studios far more engaging and meaningful

Also, you state that a benefit of your suggestion is that “Users would only receive notifications from studios they care about,” but I’d assume that nobody would become a curator of a studio unless they care about the studio.
As mentioned earlier, I believe many Scratchers curate studios primarily for convenience or to advertise their projects. Those who genuinely care about a studio and its updates could achieve the same goal by following it

Wouldn't this be almost a force to people following a studio? Also, curators should be able to get notifications without having to also follow the studio. Many Scratchers that use studios to advertise don't become curators, but simply put their projects in. I think a better solution would be to be able to turn off studio activity in certain studios (only for yourself), as it offers the same thing by giving the user a choice on receiving studio messages. Because they can be annoying, but also helpful when you're a studio host and someone adds an unrelated project. Sure, they might spam your inbox for now, but the solution is to just unfollow them or remove yourself if you keep getting an overflowing of notifications. Also, what if the person thought the studio was cool but didn't want to get notifications? You would have to become a curator. This adjustment would switch the roles of curator notifications and following the studio. Like the studio but don't want to get notifications? Follow the studio. Like the studio and also want to get notifications? Ask to be a curator. This would also cause problems for more practical studios, like the FPCA and the SDS studio. It would be harder for the curators and managers to get a notification without following the studio, and many people don't want to receive overflowing notifications about added projects.
