Deepest concerns about the new rules of maximum upload limits.

In my opinion for Envato the best thing to do is to get as many good tracks to their portfolio as fast as possible. This limitation works against that goal.

I think limiting authors to 5 items in the queue has about 0 negative effect on the long term goal of getting many quality tracks…

If you could sit just one day as a reviewer you would know how much sub-par music is sent in every day that is just purely wasting their time and energy. YOU are probably not the problem, but many others are.

Ultimately authors should ask themselves this - How long will it be until the bubble bursts? Regardless of the item quality & super human production skills involved, without restrictions the current model is not sustainable. It’s really as simple as that. And when it does crash what are you gonna do with the 3000 mediocre, similar sounding tracks in your portfolio? Who’s gonna want them? If not for the sake of the marketplace think about your long term plans.

Well said. I think so many are focused on making a quick easy $50 right now and fail to see the big picture. I have a handful of tracks I wrote in 2012-2013 that STILL pay my rent and food. They were never bestsellers (nor corporate) but original enough to not be buried among 40,000 identical clones.

Regulation in this case is a good thing because there are too many spammers in the world who just throw stuff on a wall hoping something sticks…

Any marketplace with the goal to have top quality stuff either limits acceptance of new authors, or number of submissions.
