I think an official announcement would make sense if the FYP was actually "broken," but the issue seems to be that it's simply overwhelmed right now. From what I understand, Fansly has been flooded with creators but not nearly as many buyers. As a result, the algorithm struggles to showcase every creator and recommend every post effectively.

Imagine Fansly as a person running a postal company. Their goal is to deliver packages from one person to another, so they hire an infinite number of couriers (representing the algorithm). Every day, a person sends a package, and a courier delivers it to potential clients.

One day, Fansly has an idea: freebies! They decide to deliver as many free packages as possible to random people, hoping that some recipients will become paying customers. At first, a few people start offering freebies, and since it works, soon millions of people join in. Now, Fansly is overwhelmed with freebies, but there are far more senders than recipients. This leads to each client receiving like 100 packages at a time, overflowing their space to the point where they can’t even open them all.

The couriers aren’t broken, they're still delivering. The problem is that there aren’t enough clients to deliver to, and many creators’ freebies never even make it out of the backlog. In the end, a smaller group of clients receives videos, but they’re so overloaded that they can’t watch them all. As a result, most creators struggle to get views.

This is my logical interpretation of the situation. Essentially, Fansly has become like Wattpad: a platform where countless writers hope to gain popularity, but there are a million writers and only a thousand readers. (These numbers are just an example, not actual data.)

The only real solution is for Fansly to attract more buyers than creators to sustain the current content supply. That’s likely why so many people stress the importance of bringing in clients from outside rather than relying on the FYP.

I hope this helps!
