2019 Envato Annual Public Impact Statement

@collis Can you explain to authors why they should spend money on advertising their products when as soon as they land on the landing page they see a great big dirty banner saying they can get everything unlimited for a monthly fee? I feel like this question came up last year and we got a “we’ll see what we can do about it” and yet here we are a year later.

Can you also comment on how you seem to have given up on promoting the community through the elite program? Elite packages are delayed, the elite manager has been MIA for months etc Is it just a general shift of doing less for authors in this area now that you’ve reached this level of popularity (I understand the cost of hiring people needs to benefit both authors and you guys). Or is it just another reason for authors to have a wake-up call to realize that you’ve jumped ship to elements and we should too (not that most of us can anyway)?

This place used be active and bouncing with new author promotions, interviews, guides, articles that you guys put in so much effort to help organize. Now it seems that part of Envato has died or is being used now only for occasional things.

The one thing linking all these downgrades/cuts is the place where that giant banner leads to: elements. Is there anything for marketplace authors to be excited about in 2020?
