Good day, dear Envato!
Will prido of all, let me Express my deepest gratitude for the opportunity to join the team and become one whole with Envato. This is happiness, to be engaged in only favourite business (to write music), and it is only through Envato dream of my entire life became real, thanks again.
On behalf of the majority of russian-speaking authors (I’m sure they subscribe will to this topic) I have to notice a feeling of deepest concerns about the new rules of maximum upload limits.
Please take into consideration our point of view (author’s point of view) about what exactly the implications of the new limits:
1 - new limits policy is expedient ONLY for authors who do not work full-time at audiojungle, for authors who write music not often and have a basic job (beside auiojungle). But for the authors, who work only for audiojungle on a full-time, this limit is strictly unprofitable. For example, I returned from vacation and became hard to write tracks. From 1st August I have uploaded 15 items (for 1 item a day). Now I have 15 items in reviewing stage and I can not upload new tracks. It means that I will get (in future) few weeks without approving and without sales.
All of that looks like hard-work full-time authors now in intolerable conditions. But not-full time authors are in maximum suitable conditions.
2 - new limits policy will inevitably lead to the creation of new accounts, because the authors have something to get out of the situation. The appearance of new accounts in itself will not lead to good nor to bad, but why make life difficult for those authors who work day and night for audiojungle and I don’t know what to do.
3 - all the noise on reviewing time (in particular the fact that in 2016 review time was more than a month) is just noise and it comes from very young authors, who just write the track per week. The hard-work authors, who are on full-time, dont worry about a review time, even a month, a year, no matters, the main thing that the tracks are written regularly, regularly filled and regularly approved, and how long the process takes, does not matter.
Thus, the part we see changes that will negatively affect ONLY that category of hard-work authors who have a time work for full-time, but have not yet become top authors.
Dear envato, on behalf of authors, let me ask a question:
Does these changes are deliberately aimed at the repulsion of the hard-work full-time authors (except top authors) or we do not understand something and we should not afraid of serious collapse of sales?
Many thanks in advance
