this is the prime example of hypocrisy.
he did mass following with bot and climbed top of the list. after climbing to the top, he unfollowed everyone.
now he is giving everyone some moral lessons, too?
what a day to be on the internet. ๐
Such a fair system.
How to rank:
01. Report others templates, because framer will remove it without verifying.
02. Get fake bots to comment on your post, you will be on the top row.
03. Praise online about how great the new update is.

everyone asking what's the plan is. here's mine:
โข no new Framer templates for now.
โข finish everything already in the pipeline.
โข observe the marketplace and decide the next move later.
meanwhile, I'm partnering with fellow creators to build a better template directory.
one where only quality templates get approved.
creators are one of the biggest growth engines for @framer.
we refer clients, create content, and generate excitement around the ecosystem.
a stronger creator ecosystem benefits everyone.

there's no good marketplace without quality control...... and that's for a reason...
Jun 17
Quantity over quality.
This is what @Framer is heading to.
Never ever ever in the history of mankind has removing quality control entirely led to a better product or better experiences.
Removing reviews without introducing any automated template checks or official review plugin singlehandedly turns the marketplace into a content farm.
Reviewers were overwhelmed before. Now we will see a flood of low-quality templates and dupes - without first-time authors ever even realising they are doing it!
Take a look at the whole template review process I posted recently. I am an experienced web designer and still getting my first template approved was a hard learning process. I did not even realise the menu had to be closed automatically, the Stacks renamed, all colors assigned, or that the special gallery I created was a bit janky. The process made my template 100x better.
The review took couple of weeks. So what?! All marketplaces have a long review times. Now we expect Framer team to moderate all that new content and be less overwhelmed?!
Lately there has been a slump in sales. Now the authors' experience is probably going to be even worse. You upload your template and nothing happens. You will try to promote it on x, but everybody is doing it and you get 10 likes on all your wip posts. You try to boost on dribbble, but they refuse to post your shot as it contains marketing. You pay $100 for the awwwards and some niche sites entries and you get 5 sales. Someone dupes your template and it is up to you to address it, but removing it takes weeks as the team is even busier than before. Meanwhile, more dupes appear.
I might be painting a hard picture here, and I did not even address a buyer's experience, but why would they move away from the one quality process that made Framer's marketplace feel so special and exclusive? What long-term vision is behind this move?
We as authors have some thinking to do. In the meantime, I hope you stay well and keep on creating the good stuff!

Framer just quietly ended the template business as you know it.
When I started there were maybe 1k @framer templates on the whole marketplace, and with a quality product the hardest part was just getting approved.
Now anyone can publish โ templates a day with no approval, so we're heading toward 1k a week.
When everyone can publish anything, the hard part is just getting noticed.
The best designer no longer wins.
The designer people actually follow does.
That's uncomfortable for a lot of us who just wanted to build, but it's where this is going.
Nobody finds you by accident anymore.

This will be a fun employment lawsuit for Webflow cuz this is a very blatant violation of California labor rules.
Employers must inform the employee that they are laid off, provide final wages immediately at the time of termination, and pay out all unused accrued vacation. ๐ฎโ๐จ
