<i>I guess Scratch as a social network tries very hard to de-emphasize numbers: there isn&#x27;t a &quot;karma&quot; and &quot;likes&quot; don&#x27;t bring you much (interestingly, the number of &quot;remixes&quot;, or derivative works of your project, is emphasized much more).</i><p>That doesn&#x27;t really sound like &quot;social media&quot;.<p><i>I can point you to some of the LLK&#x27;s published papers on this if you&#x27;re interested.</i><p>I&#x27;d appreciate that.
