Remove the "Featured Projects" Section

That would be really cool!

1. This is the problem with any popular page on Scratch, not only featured projects.
2. This reason isn’t really valid anymore, as most of the projects st is currently featuring is high quality.
3. Getting the high quality of projects on the featured page, it at most encourages making high quality projects.

I misread the post but Why? Also, this is not cool…
Scratchers work hard on projects and try to show them to the Scratch Team how creative they can be. Removing this won’t solve any problems with the front page, and would defeat the whole purpose of featured projects.

1: It attracts advertising and spamming. Have you noticed recently how on featured projects that the comments section is cluttered with ads and spam? people think that commenting on a popular project is going to get them popular. The resulting outcome is several spam/advertising comments that are a waste of time to the creator, and prevents anyone from actually seeing the “real” comments.

Doesn't Featured Studios almost have the same thing said in this quote? So remove that too!

2: Quality in featured projects has gone down. I have recently noticed that the featured projects look like they took about 20 minutes to make. There are far better projects that could be featured, but these poor quality ones get featured and the hard-labor ones don't. Recently, a project that demonstrated animal cruelty was featured (), so another reason I think it should be removed.

Why not remove What the community is loving and remixing since it has low quality stuff?

3: It is discouraging to people who work hard. When a project gets featured, it (used to) mean that it was put together well and had a lot of work put into it.
Now, it seems that lots of people who actually put work into their projects get ignored, while simple projects get featured. It's like rubbing it in for people who make good projects, so they eventually want to leave, so they do so. That's not the point of scratch, remember the motto “Imagine, Program, Share!” ? Well I think this could be a major contributor to the fact that several scratchers are leaving .

About 82% or more/less have taken their time on the project that got featured. An example is this project: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/712661710/

Note, I know this is very old and not likely active now but I believe it's a No Support for me.
Most of the time, featured projects can actually be useful such as Welcoming someone in the community or just getting ideas for example.
Above stuff is not really supposed to be on a new topic, I am just saying that since it shows the same things they are talking about.
Quote me if I am highly wrong about it and I can try to fix it.

The Featured page is getting very worse , especially with bad and copied platformers game (you all know what i'm talking about).
Scratch is not what was meant to be , now featured projects are a pile a of very simple memes animations rather than complex games.
It's been a year i make a very big game (its not even finished and has only 11K blocks). It's published but I just have 460 views.
I just want to get a bit of attention.
