I can confirm that File Factory is indeed 100% garbage.

Before they switched over to their new reward system (early september) i had 700+ files uploaded all of which had mirrors for other file hosters which was allowed.
After the switch i uploaded a total of 14 files with mirrors then stopped because i found out about the new rule and literally out of nowhere (they didn't even email me) i was banned. My account was still valid though and all of my links were still live so they were getting roughly 1000 downloads per-day from me without paying me anything.
I had to make the tough decision to delete my account and all 700+ files.
