Template marketplaces turn your work into a race to the bottom.
You built the template. The marketplace lists it next to 500 others, sorts them by "trending," and takes 5-20% of every sale. When your template stops trending, sales dry up. When you launch template #2, the algorithm buries it. Direct means one storefront where every template you make gets seen — by a buyer list that's yours, not theirs.
Volume × commission = the real cost of marketplace selling.
Templates thrive on volume — dozens or hundreds of sales per template. Every commission % compounds fast.
