I am writing to bring attention to a growing issue that is undermining the integrity of the Fortnite Creative ecosystem: the use of “clone-farms” to dominate the Discovery system.
Multiple creator profiles are currently flooding the platform with nearly identical maps (mostly Red vs Blue or Pit variations) where only the name or a single thumbnail element is changed. This practice directly competes with original creators and exploits the engagement-based payout system.
Evidence of Patterned Abuse: The following profiles illustrate this mass-reuploading strategy:
I would like to get definitive answers to your questions too. Anyway, regardless of the answers, I am definitely not going to spam maps. This is a creative outlet for me. Spamming is mindless work.
Forgetting that this pretty much makes it impossible for real developers to ever have success.. the bigger question is surely EPIC as a business would see customer retention and satisfaction in these spam maps is extremely low, surely that’s not good for business or the game in general…
at this point i only assume they are trying to make the creative side of fortnite look bad
they basically take up all the top slots, we all know only 1-6 are worth anything and they seem to always have those slots, especially specific creators that have been doing this for a year + as noted here:
todays slightly better than what i noted yesterday but still 3/4 of the maps in the “new” tab are from these spam accounts.
In all seriousness epic has acknowleged this and said they are pushing changes to help fix it. I guess them acknowledging it is the first step so who knows. Im pretty sure they could just have one guy sitting there checking accounts on the new and updated tabs and solve the issue.
