This strategy absolutly makes no sense for enavto, from my pov.
What do we see now: in spring of 2016 envato staff said this “7-10 days review queue by June”. 30 days now.
With all due respect, but excuse me Envato why you are giving promises, which are not possible to release in the end? The words which at least I would appreciate “well guys we are working on it, this should be fixed in 2016”. That is exactly what they should say, but no, we have useless promises, fooled around authors, and still - 30 days. Looks like a joke. Me, for example were happy to see this update, and lots of authors here for sure too. Now situation completly on the stage, were it was in the begininng of this update! This is nonsense. And this is not only about AJ, I am not envy WordPress guys, because situation there even worse, I would say completly terrible.
The biggest problem here that envato keeps ingoring authors ideas, look - there is still no: ID verification, exam, quality standarts of material are pretty low, market flooded with copypaste and stolen material and they just keep doing their strategy, which only could be understand by Envato staff in the end.
