My Plugin sales stopped now

I am from videohive. I can confirm that this weird stop of sales happened to many authors accross all markets. including our.

Something is happening and no one knows what. Sales have decreased by 40-70% to some authors and 20-30% to most.

I have few theories:

1 theory - many things at once - mothers day, summer, world soccer cup, tax month.

2 theory - envato algorythm and price changes - search algorhythm is definetly changed on videohive as now if you enter a search phrase or a word there will be first items which has least words in them and has that search word. So if you search for “fire logo” all items in first pages will be those which has item name fire logo and in further pages variations of that. Also author driven price changed how items are perceived… many items are now much more expensive. Simple logo reveal used to be 12-15 usd just year ago , now its 18-24 usd… thats double in price. Buyers notice such things and visit less.

What are your thoughts?
