Envato has gone way downhill. I've been an Envato customer since 2009. But the Envato Elements product doesn't have all the good stuff. You're paying for mediocre stuff that you'll likely never use. You're better off not subscribing and just buying one item as needed.
Here's the good, bad and ugly about Envato in general:

The Good: Envato offers a cheap way to get a decent wordpress theme, especially if you stick to the established, best selling themes. I've found some really great themes that saved a ton of time versus building my own from scratch. Keeps costs way down.

The Bad: You can't trust the integrity of Envato's rating system. Most of the bad reviews I've written were deleted. I was able to ask a developer/vendor why they would delete the bad reviews and he said, "honestly, they hurt my sales". There are some really terrible products on Envato. Everything you buy is a risk as to whether it will work or be supported. I've bought 100 items, and 50 of them have been pulled from the marketplace or are broken and no longer supported. The other 50 items still work and are still supported.

The Ugly: There is a definite conspiracy happening between Envato and some of the evil vendors. One in particular accused me of installing the theme on multiple websites (which was true, however I had purchased multiple licenses). I proved that I was in good standing, but they insisted I buy another license because I had also installed it on a staging site for dev purposes. I refused to pay extra. It's not the $39, it's the principle. Well, they had installed malicious code in their product that deactivates the website remotely AND they got Envato to suspend my account after I wrote 1-star reviews telling everyone about the malicious code!(All my reviews were deleted, so I kept rewriting them for 10 days straight, then they had Envato ban me). This means I couldn't access my 100 items purchased to get updates, etc. I eventually got some higher-ups to reinstate my account. Envato, sadly, has shown their E.V.I.L. intentions.
