Fab Development Update March 26 - Comments threads, UE Plugin & UX updates, and more

Factoring recent sales in search position creates a infinite positive feedback loop for top creators, making it harder for new creators to grow within FAB, even if their assets are top quality.

The effect is even worse after sales, since top creators always perform well during sales, their assets will be on a eternal visibility boost, while new and smaller creators will be stuck forever with “nerfed visibility”.

In the long run, having a fair competition enviroment is key for a healty marketplace.

Following good SEO praticies and publishing good quality products should be a defining aspect for success, but none of that matters, if top creators are on a bubble of positive feedback, that only gets bigger and bigger, making them unreacheable by design.

@Hourences please discuss the long term implications of this change in the search algorithym with the rest of the team. This decision is equivalent to shadow banning all small creators into oblivion, making it almost impossible to start and maintain a business focused exclusevely on selling assets on FAB.
