Im sorry Kingdog, but till 2019 when the marketplace was great and Elements just a little child i had a lot of HQ flyers in my portfolio on my old account so i know what im talking about.
Envato give a crap about the authors and they doesn’t help, for them it’s all about quantity.
So for me i see that Envato with elements is slowly going dead and burried.
I hope someday that there will be a brand new marketplace that cares about their auhors and quality but i think its just an illusion.

It depends, is this a day than it is a lot, is it a month than its not that much. But your income is decreased instead of increased and where does it stop? thats the most important point.

While I can’t share detailed statistics, we add a ton more authors, items and customers every year. And we continue to push hard every month to add more customers so authors can have more opportunities to sell their items.

I’m sorry and why cannot be shared? Unfortunately statements not supported by any data is not very credible. It would be very motivating for us authors to see that the new fantastic Elements market is sharing the same amount (or more) revenue like in 2020.
Considering instead the objective fact (supported by many authors statements) that the more the time passes the more the sales are falling, I would rather suggest to stop what you are doing.
You are so focused on Elements, and Codecanyon and Themeforst are practically dead. No updates and low traffic.
From what us authors are observing, it seems the more effort and money you are spending, the less income we are getting.
I think that yes the income there must be, but not for us and that your future plan is to drive authors to drop Codecanyon/Themeforest (like happened to Envato Studio).

We share what stats we can, but like every business we don’t want to overshare our secret sauce 
Elements will continue to be our number one focus as that’s where the industry is heading and shows the most growth.

Let’s be honest—this is turning into a disaster. Month after month, my results keep getting worse, and unlike before, when there were at least signs that the following months might improve, now I don’t see even that. I have no idea what the Envato team is doing, but whatever actions they’re taking, they’re certainly not helping authors.
I want to emphasize that I currently hold the number 3 position on the GraphicRiver top authors list and, I assume, a similarly high position on Elements. I’m not mentioning this to brag, but because if any of the team’s initiatives were truly effective, I would surely be noticing a positive impact by now.

The secret sauce is that the most of the growth is thanks to the AI tools?
Ok, let’s play this game. Please share the stats related to authors sales and revenue hiding all the stuff related to the secret and magic ingredients.
Because from what I see from my prospective and from what I read on the form since few years, it seems obvious that there is no growth for authors.

Just a thought, all my clients want to buy single item and get attention/support from the author, not even one asked for a subscription model and I have more than 50k clients, actually 99% hate the subscription model, including me, it feels like I get robed somehow… you guys are making such a mess with this, why can’t you see it?
Ok focus on Elements but leave CC and TM alone or put me incharge ,I will do it for free and bring it back to life in no time! I will do it FREE!

We’ve said many times before that Market is much better suited to code and web items, so it’s not surprising that customers prefer to purchase through Market for those items. Elements is here to appeal to creative professionals that work across a variety of skill sets.
Yes, but it just doesn’t work. Whatever you’re doing, it’s simply not working for the authors. I’m just stating the facts.

It’s quite clear if you read without expectations.
Simple English, they won’t do anything at the marketplace till they finish their goal with Elements.

They have a golden opurtunity to advertise as a human based code entity, Elements dose nto work , because Evant is not founded by numbers but by passion, quality and hard work!
I wonder who is in charge now of this all mess…

The retail market on Graphicriver died several years ago. Revenue on the platform has fallen by 90% or more. I don’t see a return to previous results. The Elements subscription market is following the same path.

If you spend so much time improving Elements, then why are the revenue falling on Elements?

It’s falling for you ( for everyone but ) , probably not for them as SS is bringing/merging their companies/providers to Elements with AI.

This is a difficult question, and there’s no clear answer. I have my suspicions. First, the global economy is declining, which is lowering demand. Second, interest in Elements and GraphicRiver has plummeted. Monitoring tools show drastic declines in views and website visits. Third, the AI boom is, to some extent, displacing the demand for traditional image files.

oh and one last reason is the flood of crappy files which effectively diluted the sales of valuable files.
