Yes, what they did, is yet again hurry up without any further real impact testing. @steve_lam - Envato actually made a mess. Some of the themes that do not have the badge and are inferior in all ways stayed high up.
How can you make such rookie mistakes is beyond me?
And for example, I still did not receive any follow-up mail.
And those search charades have been going on for years, on which authors are constantly pointing out.
On one side Envato gave pricing freedom and tons of options into the author’s hands that released them from responsibilities and gave Envato extra income, but those things that would really work for authors are not here. Guess Themeforest is at the lower level of priority, elements is the one to push everywhere.
I am beyond disappointed!
We lost more than 10k in a short period, and the drop was sudden which does indicate manipulation.
And again if it was fair and only those that got the badge got the push upwards relative to other factors, I would be up for it.
But Envato did a poor poor job. Hurried up just to do something as usual!
How they did not learn from past experience, with support, vat, etc. is beyond my comprehension.
