We need to end this is subscription models are bad or not discussion, because we are only wasting time. What we need to do is unite and demand changes to the current model, and even more importantly let Envato pay for their own advertising of Elements. It’s time to stop putting this huge advertising bill on the exclusive market authors (the Elements banner).
And don’t think that authors are powerless with these changes. We stopped broadcast licenses from happening at the current model, we also are now in the progress of making sure affiliate authors are getting paid for their work. These things happens because authors speak up together and demand respect. It’s unfortunate that this is necessary, but that’s how it is.
So the very next priority should be removal of the Elements banner IMHO. If we don’t respect ourselves nobody else will either.
