I’m totally disagree with this decision. It’s totally bad idea ever think by Envato.
If Envato really loves its Author then never never take this type of decision.
Its starting the end of entire marketplace trust, quality, reputation.
Envato never ever take any consideration of Authors even if its elite or not.
Envato must note that you are in Top position just because of your Authors and now you are going to rush authors through Elements.
The current Elements Author just earn few $ from your earning calculation methodology of Elements.
@jamesgiroux - You are just saying that
Envato Hosted, Envato Studio services, item support renewals, affiliate revenue and now Envato Elements all present avenues for authors to maximize their earnings across Envato and build a recurring revenue stream.
This term is only satisfied for Power Elite Authors.
