You fail to see the obvious reason WHY those tunes would only get 0-2 sales (even if they’re usable). Because of the current inflow that is TOO LARGE. Envato want to lower this inflow. Therefore, every new track will become more visible.
If you were the only one uploading 5 (usable) tracks in a week surely you would see a lot of those 10,000 sales.
The goal is to lower the inflow of copycat tracks, and the method is right. I think it’s obvious to anyone that out of 1,000 authors producing 1 track/day there may be 1-3 who can and do produce quality, original material, but 997-999 produce the same track over and over, and over, and over, and over, again…
If they prohibited Corporate tracks altogether no buyer would be unhappy because the supply is already perfectly sufficient.
This change will make it better for some (most), and worse for some. Like with ALL changes.
And another thing, the pure QUALITY of a track doesn’t say much, it’s the USABILITY combined with minimum quality that’s important. The top quality super advanced tracks that musicians find interesting and impressive are not necessarily very usable along with video.
