Well the copycat creator probably got paid @QuipTalk

Answer: It is difficult to say whether or not the copycat creator got paid for their work, as Arthur's comment does not explicitly state this. However, it is likely that they received some form of compensation, either in the form of money or recognition, for their work. It is also possible that they created the copycat out of passion and without any expectation of payment.

Did you see Arthurs comment?
