No it suggests projects based on what you have seen.

Then no support, since we have favorite projects section.

Support, but maybe an option for what you want on the front page in the account settings.

Stuff that could be removed temporarily:
Projects in Studios I'm Curating
Projects Loved by Scratchers I'm Following

for some examples.

Nope, its not.

Support if you can disable your project from being recommended (due to privacy).

1 is what I mean. 2 is basically featured projects.

The recommended videos that make up the first section on the YouTube home page (assuming you're signed in) that YouTube gives you, is it the same as having them featured?

Um, support?

Ok, assuming that recommended projects is picked by projects you see/like/love, if you clicked on a wrong link or clicked on a project that you're just curious about, then would it count on the recommended projects ? And there should be a “not interested” button

In my opinion, one or two wrong clicks compared to all the projects you view shouldn't make too significant a difference, but I guess that's debatable.
A “not interested” button sounds like a good idea.

No support as per this. There are many other better things they could do with that server space.

Changes my opinion.

I think that beneath each project, along with the studios and remixes sections, there should be a new section entitled “Recommended.”

Like YouTube does for videos, this section should contain other projects that in some way relate to the current project being viewed.

The algorithm for finding such projects need not be complicated - it could just pull random projects with the same tags, or similar keywords in their descriptions.

For example, if viewing a 3D platformer project, one would expect to see other 3D games or platformers in the Recommended projects section. If viewing a colouring-in project, one would expect other colouring-in projects to appear in the recommended projects section.

The recommended projects pane would just be an un-obtrusive section on a project's page to help get similar, perhaps less popular projects, more attention, and keep Scratchers engaged with the content of the website (everyone knows how addicting YouTube's recommended videos section can become.)

See my example:

This feature would be great to get less-popular projects noticed, and to make the project-browsing experience more interesting and engaging.

Support as long as the projects are not sorted based on popularity, but instead either some other factor or just randomly.
