well think from a customer’s perspective - wp theme is a very competitive market and now we have more competition to fight it was ADP now subscription and it will not give a fair competition for everyone, maximum sales is taken by top popular items, only time will tell
Well, it’s probably best to go on historical data rather than to make assumptions about the way customers are going to think. I can understand why youve arrived at that conclusion, but everyone thought it would be the end of GraphicRiver when Elements was announced, for the same reasons, but that’s not been the case… unless Envato are completely making up those stats, but I’m not sure what they would.
Time will tell.
We were considering to try this market as an alternative to our custom web development projects. We thought it will create a so called passive income and will give us a possibility to concentrate on coding and own creation ideas instead of building project by project websites… We even launched one small test plugin here 
(Please do not encourage competitive marketplaces. Thanks!)
Good luck!
So pity years ago Envato was a nice place…
Sales are dead. Thanks envato for WordPress on Elements !!!

Sadly mostly of us dont even have a chance to support it.
I think sales are not dead, they have increase their marketing/promotion to improve it.
sales may improve only for top sellers, average authors sales are completely dead, if not yet, will soon.

I am wondering is there any Themeforest authors who would like to share how they were affected by Elements introducing themes and websites.
How your sales and earnings were affected?

Some responses from people who are on Elements, as well as those who aren’t, would be nice!
Hey,
No problem! Our sales have stopped after the WordPress products launch on Envato Elements (about 2 weeks ago or so).
I hope our comment won’t be deleted but the truth is there’s no point for us to keep producing new products because of ADP and Envato Elements.

I have a few themes on Elements and my marketplace sales are doing better this month than the last couple of months so they seem to of improved if anything.
Too early to tell though I guess, could just be coincidence and luck and nothing to do with Elements.
Starting to feel that Elements might not be such a bad thing after all. Hope I haven’t spoke too soon though.

So you’ve not had any sales for the last two weeks?
me too
Thanks for the info, I am glad to see you guys are doing well. Let’s wait for a couple of months. Since our sales have gone up this month and we do not have anything on elements, nor did we market or have any discounts.
In any case, at least there is no negative impact yet.
Good news.
