On the other hand, this studio update is cool. But to those of you who don't know what is new to the studios, I'll put it here.
They removed the infinite number of invites to the studio managers. They added a new limitation of a maximum of 40 studio managers. Honestly, that new limitation just made me fear how Scratch is gonna become when more 3.0 updates will be released to other 2.0 pages. Luckily, managers who are more than 40th managers didn't get removed. But no one was able to invite new managers until the studio reaches less than 40 managers.
They deducted the manager’s permission from editing the studio’s name and description. Only studio creators have permission to do that. So that now basically means that all studios that belong to banned Scratch users will become permanently unchangeable. According to the Scratch Team's forum post, they claimed that the purpose of doing this was to prevent unwanted changes, especially to studios that have so many managers. Which is kind of fine to me, but also pretty scary. So if you created a studio, make sure to come up with a perfect studio name and description if you are most likely at a risk of a ban on Scratch. They also claimed that this change is intended to prevent misuse of the studio description field, such as managers defacing the studio description or using it as a space for chatting.
The extremely poor low-quality studio thumbnails look like garbage compared to the new high-quality 3.0 studio update. I have no idea why the Scratch Team added a file size limit on purpose for no obvious reason. The limitations of the thumbnail were the maximum of 400 KB and less than 500 x 500 pixels. And the Scratch site doesn't look like it has storage limitations since the only thing that has an unlimited number amount of uploading was the Scratch projects.
They added a new 25-limit reply to each comment. This means that if a comment/thread reaches to 25 replies, no one will be able to add any more replies to that comment, but they can always start a new comment and start the limit over. This is actually a good thing because it's a good way to stop unnecessary arguments or spam that happen a lot on the Scratch website.
And that was pretty much it. There are pros and cons of this studio update. There are some limitations that are good and some bad limitations. If you wanna read more about this studio update, go to this link: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/526539/
