Okay. Now, after two years of complaining, let’s get serious. Do you know of any code marketplace with traffic that works? Codecanyon is no longer operational. What do we do? Do we withdraw everything and find our own way? Wasn’t there anyone who was going to set up their own marketplace to compete? How’s it going?

What a stage thing. “Someone” reported my message as “spam”… Who might be?
A message on which I just wrote:
I’m considering moving my products to wpb**.com
Where the missing letter are the 1st and the 25th of the alphabet.
My thoughts are now considered spam? Or someone is trying authors censor?
you never know what damage it might do to the grat business Codecanyon and Themeforest are becoming.

Instead of censoring my legitimately posted thoughts, could you rather giving us an insight of the situation and the future plans the management has for Codecanyon and Themeforest @BenLeong ?

If you have shared the website URL on the forum, it’s understandable that the post may marked as spam due to Envato forum rules.
About the insight, someone else has already asked couple of times here, I’m not sure if that was you or not but the future plans was clean and simple: Envato is focusing on Elements now, so far if you didn’t understand the “plans” from the all over banners/links to Elements, that’s another story.
I have suggested to all authors to focus on their marketplace for a long time ago, some of them are kind of “still” making money to continue on the marketplace but I don’t think it’d last long.
( Again, I have also statement about this matter, too, somewhere here, probably )

3 sales in the past 14 days. I guess they finally succeeded in killing the market 
Thanks God I control my licenses and have my shop.
If I would have stood still I would be probably out of business today.

Hi,
Do you have any plan to remove Themeforest and Codecanyon items from the Elements or do you want to continue destroying these markets?!

What kind of question is that? Did you read what you wrote?
Sorry, does it have any grammatical issues?!
It’s not about the grammar, it’s about the “point”.
I don’t want to be rude but this is a silly question. All of the idea is merging the marketplace to Elements but you sound like you have no idea what’s going on and asking removal of the “code” from Elements.
First thing, their policy doesn’t allow them to remove codes ( they may entirely close the section though ) secondly, just because of you’re not happy with it, they are not going to change their business model.
There has been a very long conversation here on this thread, I suggest to read it again:

You should ask him: “Do you have plan after leaving here”? I think it’s easier for him to answe your questions:)

Do you think an own shop can alive these days? Or can you recommend a better Marketplace for everyone?

I didn’t have any more sales after Shutterstock bought Envato. Does anyone sell on Themeforest?

Where are the other Elite and Power Elite Authors?! Invite them to contribute here to find a solution! Sales are very low! What is their plan for their business here?!

The marketplace is highly competitive, where one author’s struggles can inadvertently fuel another’s success. While it may seem unfortunate, your concerns serve as validation of someone else’s achievement.
This is why other authors, even those experiencing lower sales, choose not to speak out—they may not be thriving, but their situation isn’t as dire as yours. And thanks to you, they feel even more motivated and reassured in their own progress. Bravo 
This is not only for me! Sales data shows that the Market sales is extremely decreasing and is zero for many authors and developers.
Global Market Sales:
April 2020: 502,235
April 2021: 440,108
April 2022: 309,654
April 2023: 235,400
April 2024: 186,399
