Discovery algorithm abuse

Summary

Noticed that most of the RVB clones now consistently get into most enaging #1-3 while having average playtime 15-20 minutes? Like 10 days in a row publishing same clone every time?

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Publishing

Steps to Reproduce

Not gonna go into details, but they publish a clone and boost playtime right before hitting new and updated and get into #1 most engaging because their average playtime is 100-300 minutes per player with unique player count 1-12.

Expected Result

The discovery algorithm should consider the average time after being introduced in new and updated- which then drops to 15-20 minutes per 300-500 players in most cases.

Observed Result

The algorithm considers average playtime from before new and updated which is 100-300 minutes per player. You can literally afk for 3 hours and get into most engaging with any map, if the map is empty before new and updated. Also the name/thumbnail can be repeated indefinitely on one account which allows to spam clones.
