All newest items are without sales, and without views. “Awesome experiment…”
Take a look at the psd category 
it’s like taking a walk on design’s memory lane. There are products that haven’t been updated in 8 years. Everything looks soooo old. This is a category where visitors come to see what’s fresh and new…
They ignore all authors except top authors!! Best selling items already have huge monthly sales, even without this aggressive promotion by Envato, so I just don’t get this move.
It favors only a small percent of authors and it’s generally counterproductive!
