They should delete all those maps, that would save so much storage on epic servers and will make them more responsive. And will make Fortnite a better place
Maps are not stored on the servers if they haven’t been recently played in that region. They have an internal CDN for Fortnite maps. Literally stored on tape drives that aren’t even being powered if they haven’t been played in months, so it takes a minute to load those random unpublished maps that everyone made when they were just checking out creative years ago.
Honestly, I completely agree with this take. Fortnite Creative has so much potential for unique and well-thought-out creations, but spammy, low-effort maps like these just clog up the Discovery page and ruin the experience for actual creators. It’s not just frustrating for players searching for quality maps but also for creators who put real effort into their work.
Fortnite Creative isn't what it should be even without these spam maps. Epic have put so much effort into UEFN but instead of being creative and making original content, people will make copy and paste Red Vs Blue, Zone Wars, 1v1s and Deathruns. I hardly ever see any original maps becoming popular, however it has gotten better recently with maps like Murder Mystery, 50 Fashion Show and The Pillars. What's more, people don't want original content, they want all of the traditional maps and that's why Go Goated, The Pit and Tilted Towers Zone Wars have stayed popular for so long. I won't be surprised if the creators could just leave the maps how they are, do absolutely nothing to them and the maps would still be popular for years. UEFN tries to be something revolutionary but ultimately Robloxified Fortnite Creative even further. Also what's up with Epic putting maps using third party IPs in Epic's Picks? Wasn't the initial rule that third party IPs, INCLUDING Epic's (which is why any Fortnite map recreations aren't allowed unless there's some kind of spin, unless they're Chapter 1 maps but they can't make any money), weren't allowed, and you could be banned even if you don't intend to publish said maps?
the worst part is ive seen more originality in Roblox than i have with UEFN. This shit is way more copy pasted, and even more so with how many AI Generated thumbnails there are
Bruh, the dude who made the pic got canceled and still gets more plays than the 50 fashion or actual maps that I like because they’re creative. I literally joined chill guys prop hunt and I was like oh more meme prop hunts. no just a copy and paste the Walmart prop hunt but with one chill guys every like few bits it was even saying hi welcome to Walmart. Hunt like a generic AI announcer.
yeah, the playerbase don't help too, most of them are only focusing on those tryhard maps, they don't care about originality, they just want to show how good they can buildfight. this makes me feel like the playerbase that is interested into original content is so low/almost inexistant
This seems like they are abusing the UEFN payout system, much easier to get the minimum payout with UEFN maps even if only a dozen people play them each month. Supposed to encourage high-effort maps. Non-UEFN maps don’t have this base payout.
Absolutely agree with everything here! Discovery is flooded low-quality copy/paste maps with AI thumbnails and copyright infringement and it needs to STOP. It's so demotivating to real creators who actually put hard work into their maps, only for them to get no plays because SKIBIDI MEME TMNT BOXFIGHTS (ALL WEAPONS) gets spammed 1,000 times and completely ruins the chances of any high-effort map getting plays. Epic needs to strike down HARD against these kinds of creators, I'm talking permanent creator suspensions and even cancellation of payouts. These people know what they're doing and they don't care - they're taking advantage of the system for their own financial gain, and Epic has to stop this. It's been going on for too long. That, and tighten moderation. Don't allow low-quality maps to be published. Don't allow maps with AI thumbnails to be published. And there have to be consequences, too - otherwise the creator will just make a new account and keep churning out garbage in hopes of getting plays. I don't even want to get started on all the scummy techniques map creators use to increase playtime... "wait one hour to unlock this vault", etc...
Most of this I agree with, but the low quality maps rule I'm not a fan of. People who legitimately want to get into creating maps will never get constructive criticism if they can't publish their maps. They'll either, never improve or improve extremely slowly. However, the people who push out low quality maps non-stop for revenue should 100% have action taken against them.
Nah this wouldn't be good. I have some maps planned for release on the same week that are linked with eachother story wise. This would harm that release, but I see why you would suggest that
@@GioGioFNI agree with this video but I agree it should be limited to 1 a week because who really needs to publish more than 1 a week because if your able to make a map under a week it’s more than likely just shovelware anyway with not much effort put into it
@@I_DONT_EVEN_TRY I'm not a creator but I see why Gio thinks this is quite bad. People can work on multiple maps at the same time and reach completion on more than one. Yes, it would reduce the amount of spam, but it would also screw over legitimate creators. Maybe not a week, but a span of a couple days could be better. It'll never be perfect but it's important to balance it out.
Bro that's very annoying, it makes it harder to find maps from people who actually put effort into there game/map, like yeah man I see your point, but bro i play on switch, I don't want to wait for the maps loading for 30mins+ just to look for something to play 😵
This is what I show to all the people who ask me about my projects 😭, i spend months innovating new concepts to bring into UEFN and Verse, just for my maps to be outpreformed by the same template copy and pasted.
This is actually due to roblox spam slop creators also migrated to other games with creator tools to have that "I got you in my sights" style scam cash grab traps in not just Fortnite but Minecraft Marketplace on the consoles Roblox i had mentioned, Generally whenever you go.. There is slop left behind from a sloppy "Content Creator".
{This has a moral of the story at the end} I one time made an map with custom textures, everything, and made it huge. I also put an ruleset changer out of bounds that would never make the storm encroach on the entire area. It was a map where there was no organic nature; everything was made painstakingly by hand to make it look like my home: Cluster Prime. It also was a place where I promoted players to co exist in peace, as there is no time limit, no arbitrary goals, you could do everything indefinitely and respawn at any time. It would of been a paradise for players to explore and hang out, not just some arena... Unfortunately I never figured out how to get publication rights back then... My idealistic paradise thus never saw fruition... Whereas I would be lucky to publicize even one map? Would get on my knees and beg for just one publication to test if a player paradise would be indeed possible? This guy profits off of pitting players against each other in small boxed off arenas like lab rats, and then tries to exploit the map they found most interesting and spams it. The moral is? I took all the effort and love and compassion possible to make mine... He did not... I read the news but it wasn't good: Cause the bad guy won when the good guys should. People didn't always like each other though did they? People didn't always get along now, did they? I know I'm not gonna get to find out anyway, the game played us for fools, and we'll never get to have the final say: We don't get to make the rules.
Btw the reason his creator code is drink is because it’s easy to type or think of when supporting a creator, so he’s hoping that someone will type drink and he gets easier money
it annoys me so much that I made one map in fortnite that I would love to publish, but don't have the thrive to put hundreds of hours into fortnite creative or UEFN due to work so I have the allowance to publish it. Yet people like these exist and it makes me so mad.
This is ridiculous. The whole point of them requiring people to have a creator code in order to publish a map was to keep this from happening. Meanwhile people who actually have made a map or two that they want to publish just to play with friends or to share their ideas can't if they can't get a code. It's really annoying. Epic needs to change there format for this. Little big planet had a finite number of maps that you could publish, but, anyone could publish. Wish they had done that here.
epic directly supporting map creators through monatory means was the biggest mistake they ever made, ive made a couple of maps but never upload any of them because the set up process isnt the best
Yeah they really need to limit published islands. Like make it so any creator only gets 10 slots, and you can archive and change them out, for seasonality
Epic should make an official red v blue and box fight map and then ban every other version. People still get to play those modes and it give creators a better chance for there ideas to have a light shined on it
I don't even think making a sonic map on fortnite would be against the rules, as long as no revenue is made off of the map but I'm not the most educated when it comes to fortnites creator system, but I do know that sega is very lenient towards fangames
Fortnite maps are ruined. I hate scrolling down and seeing RED VS BLUE. LEVEL 1 LEVEL 100 and that’s it there is no good maps. If there is good maps you have to go on a absolute hunt for them
This happened with another game I played a long time ago, Little Big Planet had the same issue sadly. You would think they would have some sort of way of stopping this, I'm pretty sure they even have a team reviewing these maps but not doing anything about it.
@@GioGioFN No, the game was about making fun and creative maps, the only thing you could get out of it was like hearts and follows. I'm not sure why people copy and pasted them but it was very annoying seeing the same once popular map all over. It starts with like a very popular map, and people were able to steal it and reupload it 100 times over, so not even the original map creator gets credit.
I made a map, and someone copied it, and ever since people have been copying MY THUMBNAIL OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND I JUST FOUND OUT 2 DAYS AGO THAT ONE OF THEM GOT TABS, MORE PLAYS THAN MINE, AND MADE MORE. its genuinely so frusturating because it didnt get any tabs but then a copy gets it.
They need to limit the amount of maps people can make to like 10 so the spam isn’t as bad as that, and if someone gets reported for creative map spam, they should be removed from the creative ecosystem for 30 days to permanently banned if they keep doing it
I have two Solutions Solution 1: Make it harder for people to publish maps Solution 2: Banning creators like these from either the whole of Fortnite or even the entirety of Epic Games
on the fact that no one plays his games, I've noticed the epic map recommendations algorithm push maps for a day or two, boosting playcounts by thousands, sometimes tens of thousands. Then after that peak things drop significantly. I'm betting most of his maps hit the algorithm at some point and got some solid playtime for like a week, then they die, because obviously there's no substance to the actual map. But bro still stands to profit just from that.
Lol I seen this today as well, as I was trying to submit my map. I was like is this a dupe or glitch. I don't think it will be long before Epic starts either curating these maps, or cut out monetization without being a huge creator, example like youtube monetization.
i watched this video and it inspired me to "re-open" my investigation into spammers and scammers of fortnite creative. i even made my own video after further research because i was inspired by your video :)
ive been saying for a while , maps like this are favored because of the way the searching system works good gamemodes dont stick around because as soon as they arent THE MOST popular thing , they slowly fade into obscurity , lose their entire playerbase , and eventually fully die i used to LOVE oneshot dirtbikes , it was such a fun map and it was even top page ! then a few months passed , and you couldnt find it without searching for the code on google , and at that point there werent any other players :/
I spend a lot of time in creative, and sadly most of that is spent searching for a decent map. It has become boring trying to look for anything. These idiots and scammers are killing creative.
I think Epic needs to put a cap on how many maps you can upload in a month. Even if it's just 10 maps you can upload in a month, that's better than this guy uploading 100 of the same map in a single day and clogging the creative searches.
On one hand I wish I had the audacity to do such a thing on the other hand I'm glad I took an eternity to make a single map, it's quite amateur but given what I was intending to copy before inspiration blind sided me and let me turn it into something different I'm quite proud of the outcome :)
There is a base payout for UEFN maps… it isn’t much but I bet you can multiply it if you do some nonsense like this. It is supposed to be to encourage more complex high-effort maps using the harder to use UEFN tools. So he is getting paid that base rate even if there are very few players each month. Non-UEFN maps don’t get this.
Compare the quality of the maps in the discover tab with any video game mod forum, Doom for example, is the difference between people who do things for the love of their favorite game and people who do things for an economic incentive.
i couldnt have said this better myself. i dont have any maps yet but im almost afraid to make any because of the people who spam, im gonna have to try so hard
It's so sad to see these lazy copy and pastes watering down the discover section. I've spent countless hours making maps and have uploaded a total of 2. I'm not amazing at it, but it is almost impossible to find either of them in the discover section. I just imagine how many people who are much more talented and have spent way more hours making fun games, just to have them never see the light of day because of these people. Epic should really look into this.
Am I the only one having this weird problem with the battle pass I swear it takes me 2-4 levels to claim items or jus one item it's making this season so difficult when it comes to leveling up 🤦🏿♂️
i still dont know why epic wont limit maps......jsut say you can only create 5 map per account and if you want more slot pay for them via v bucks... that isnt a bad iear i mean when you are a content creator 500 vbucks per slot are nothing.
@@GioGioFNyeah, you shouldn’t have to pay, epic just should just actually do their job, and review the maps ensuring that they aren’t all copy and pasted
I think a lot of the problems with the recommendation algorithm can be fixed by adding a dislike button, like on Steam. This way, maps can be properly graded, and really good experiences can get elevated instead of being buried by slop or extremely popular islands. If, for example, a map has only negative likes for about a week, it should simply be removed from search. This would help automatically clear out low-quality content and make it easier to find better experiences
i love Team deathmatch. But red vs blue got annoying, yes I do play it for XP or fun, But that's just the popular one. There are so many copy and paste maps that cover actual good maps. It gets really boring and people just do the same idea now we can't escape it. No more detailed maps just red vs blue or grinch vs santa.
really well made video! this is the horrible part about uefn currently and it does suck to even get found anywhere much less the search functions due to the other doing this as well as Bread. Fortnite clearly needs a better moderation side of things, but we know how Epic treats those kinds of things already.
everything i see about fortnite makes me glad that i havent had to play it for the past 5 years literally why is there a roblox slop problem in this game now
Nah the metaverse of Fortnite with the maps is sick, this is just an issue that comes with early stages of building a metaverse. I have faith Epic will solve this issue soon!
And here I am creating complex maps and can't even publish them because I don't fit the criteria... I have no 1000 followers 🤷 But I'm doing it for fun anyways
I know this isnt related but has everyone forgot how terrible they hud still is? It feels like fortnite got what they wanted after the "hud" update happened.
Exactly, they just fixed a couple of issues and made it so you can scroll through the locker and a little other stuff together with an bigger update. They completely disregarded things like the rarity so they can label the items neutral rarity without them actually having value for 2 000 vbucks (like avatar the last airbender).
I spent ages making a Fortnite map for me and my kid. Thought I did okay, thought I'd publish it so they could play it whe nI'm not online. Nope. I'm not allowed to publish it because I don't have 1K subs or something stupid like that. I look at the trash in creative - LITERALLY copy-paste asset flips (tutorials/templates with minimal WORK done on them). THAT'S okay, but my little PvE map isn't good enough to be considered in the same category as a map literally called 'Skidibi Car Wash XP Exploit Farm'. I don't know if such a map exists, but it definitely could. That map's fine. Mine's not. Just the 'AI slop crap' in different clothes really. ================================== Epic needs to learn what Bethesda forgot: If you treat your players with respect, your games will be respected. If you don't, they'll stop making free content for you eventually. Think of how many modders aren't even interested in playing Elder Scrolls 6, let alone modding it. All those mods that extended Skyrim's lifespan? They won't exist for Elder Scrolls 6. Sure, we'll get new modders but how are they going to compare to someone who's been modding their whole life? They may be superior modders - but only TIME will tell. And if there's no Elder Scroll 7 - well that's kind of my point.
I made a ENTIRE stream talking about this I got no viewers but I’m glad it’s being brought to light
Well im subbing to you
@ thank you so much
One small creator to another
GUYS LETS GET THIS KID TO 500 RIGHT NOW
If you want to bring such a topic to light, I recommend that you don't do it on stream
They should delete all those maps, that would save so much storage on epic servers and will make them more responsive. And will make Fortnite a better place
Maps are not stored on the servers if they haven’t been recently played in that region. They have an internal CDN for Fortnite maps. Literally stored on tape drives that aren’t even being powered if they haven’t been played in months, so it takes a minute to load those random unpublished maps that everyone made when they were just checking out creative years ago.

@@GioGioFN I had the same bug while i was playing creative, I believe it has something to do with the ground fall.
dawg that is john pork in the thumbnail
Finally someone noticed 😭😭
I think Epic needs to put a cap on how many maps you can upload in a month. Even if it's just 10 maps you can upload in a month, that's better than this guy uploading 100 of the same map in a single day and clogging the creative searches.
I just got back to this, i knew discover wasnt the best but holy
On one hand I wish I had the audacity to do such a thing on the other hand I'm glad I took an eternity to make a single map, it's quite amateur but given what I was intending to copy before inspiration blind sided me and let me turn it into something different I'm quite proud of the outcome :)
That’s awesome to hear! Keep up with creating content that you feel passionate about! It’s always worth it in the end to see your final product
@@GioGioFN Words to live me and indeed it truly is!
There is a base payout for UEFN maps… it isn’t much but I bet you can multiply it if you do some nonsense like this. It is supposed to be to encourage more complex high-effort maps using the harder to use UEFN tools. So he is getting paid that base rate even if there are very few players each month. Non-UEFN maps don’t get this.
As a fortnite map maker myself, thank you for calling this out
Compare the quality of the maps in the discover tab with any video game mod forum, Doom for example, is the difference between people who do things for the love of their favorite game and people who do things for an economic incentive.
i couldnt have said this better myself. i dont have any maps yet but im almost afraid to make any because of the people who spam, im gonna have to try so hard
Honestly they should limit the maps you can make
3:13 when you said “spamming everywhere” you were double pumping the player and your pellets were hitting the player again and again.😅
Omg this is so funny I didn’t even notice good catch😭😭
It's so sad to see these lazy copy and pastes watering down the discover section. I've spent countless hours making maps and have uploaded a total of 2. I'm not amazing at it, but it is almost impossible to find either of them in the discover section. I just imagine how many people who are much more talented and have spent way more hours making fun games, just to have them never see the light of day because of these people. Epic should really look into this.
Am I the only one having this weird problem with the battle pass I swear it takes me 2-4 levels to claim items or jus one item it's making this season so difficult when it comes to leveling up 🤦🏿♂️
after level 100 it's every 2 levels that you can claim a reward, it's intentional and not a glitch
“I like money.”
that feeling when you cant even open uefn
I have not heard of this issue! Hopefully Epic can crack down on it.
Thanks for the heart mate!
(Why did I say mate? I don’t say that!! Eh, whatever)
i see this so much when playing creative.. so much copy and paste
When I saw john pork I was dying
So serious, I was crying while making the thumbnail, just looks so stupid😭
i still dont know why epic wont limit maps......jsut say you can only create 5 map per account and if you want more slot pay for them via v bucks... that isnt a bad iear i mean when you are a content creator 500 vbucks per slot are nothing.
@@Jonyi100 I kinda don’t like that idea like at all 😭 I have around 8 maps published, I shouldn’t have to pay more because people like to spam slop
@@GioGioFNyeah, you shouldn’t have to pay, epic just should just actually do their job, and review the maps ensuring that they aren’t all copy and pasted
Epic games never promote copied maps and re uploaded maps, if u go in his fngg you’ll see he have earned only like 200$
Solution: new game mode Fortslop only these slop maps allowed there
Probably an extreme OCD issue
What's the skin you're using at 3:05?

I think a lot of the problems with the recommendation algorithm can be fixed by adding a dislike button, like on Steam. This way, maps can be properly graded, and really good experiences can get elevated instead of being buried by slop or extremely popular islands. If, for example, a map has only negative likes for about a week, it should simply be removed from search. This would help automatically clear out low-quality content and make it easier to find better experiences
Most people only play combat maps, so that is why he spams this type of maps
We need to stop payment of fotnite Islands
epic needs to see this
I agree there to many of the same map it annoys me
bro we better find this guy and make him see what he had createt
i love Team deathmatch. But red vs blue got annoying, yes I do play it for XP or fun, But that's just the popular one. There are so many copy and paste maps that cover actual good maps. It gets really boring and people just do the same idea now we can't escape it. No more detailed maps just red vs blue or grinch vs santa.
he has over 3,200 maps...
The worst part is kids actually play these😭
john pork needs to be stopped fr !!
Should report this guy tf like bro this is crazy
THATS OOMF ON MY YT FEED!?
THATS OOMF IN MY COMMENTS?? MY GOAT KROOTZY🗣️🗣️🐐🔥
really well made video! this is the horrible part about uefn currently and it does suck to even get found anywhere much less the search functions due to the other doing this as well as Bread. Fortnite clearly needs a better moderation side of things, but we know how Epic treats those kinds of things already.
@@naokily I have high hopes for 2025 discovery! And thank you for the compliment!
@@GioGioFN of course man I really hope because it’s a really important of the current Fortnite imo!!
everything i see about fortnite makes me glad that i havent had to play it for the past 5 years literally why is there a roblox slop problem in this game now
Nah the metaverse of Fortnite with the maps is sick, this is just an issue that comes with early stages of building a metaverse. I have faith Epic will solve this issue soon!
what's your map code
For which map of mine?
why was john pork on the thumbnail
@@Samtheman634 that’s Drink wym
And here I am creating complex maps and can't even publish them because I don't fit the criteria... I have no 1000 followers 🤷
But I'm doing it for fun anyways
John pork we need to talk
I know this isnt related but has everyone forgot how terrible they hud still is? It feels like fortnite got what they wanted after the "hud" update happened.
@GalaxyRests huh? What Hud update?
Exactly, they just fixed a couple of issues and made it so you can scroll through the locker and a little other stuff together with an bigger update. They completely disregarded things like the rarity so they can label the items neutral rarity without them actually having value for 2 000 vbucks (like avatar the last airbender).
what drink does drink drinks ?
I spent ages making a Fortnite map for me and my kid.
Thought I did okay, thought I'd publish it so they could play it whe nI'm not online.
Nope.
I'm not allowed to publish it because I don't have 1K subs or something stupid like that.
I look at the trash in creative - LITERALLY copy-paste asset flips (tutorials/templates with minimal WORK done on them).
THAT'S okay, but my little PvE map isn't good enough to be considered in the same category as a map literally called 'Skidibi Car Wash XP Exploit Farm'.
I don't know if such a map exists, but it definitely could.
That map's fine.
Mine's not.
Just the 'AI slop crap' in different clothes really.
==================================
Epic needs to learn what Bethesda forgot: If you treat your players with respect, your games will be respected. If you don't, they'll stop making free content for you eventually.
Think of how many modders aren't even interested in playing Elder Scrolls 6, let alone modding it.
All those mods that extended Skyrim's lifespan? They won't exist for Elder Scrolls 6.
Sure, we'll get new modders but how are they going to compare to someone who's been modding their whole life? They may be superior modders - but only TIME will tell.
And if there's no Elder Scroll 7 - well that's kind of my point.
I think it is not necessary to have 1k subscribers to publish your island. Try the Island Creator program, not Support-a-Creator.
@@CathyRoyC You're 100% correct, thanks for the info.
honestly add a cool down to uploading maps atp 😭
Why are people starting to put John Pork in their drama thumbnails?
Who else has done this?😭😭
@GioGioFN I'm not lying when I say this, but I swear I've seen like 3 other videos that just have them in the thumbnail for no reason! Lol
Fortnite creative is just like Roblox tbh 😭🙏
he made $2 - $9
@mejfin he’s rich!!111!!🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Like what?
So, true SMH 😥
this is so real
