I have been looking around on this site for about a month now and its without a doubt one of the best sites out there. Because I'm taking my time on my first game, I have a very low budget to work with. I occasionally buy some specific assets, however more times than not I go for the free assets.
[I would buy more to support creators If I had more cash to spare.]
But just recently I come here and put on the free filter and I noticed that half of the page is filled with paid for assets, even though I clicked the free filter. Before when you clicked the free filter it would have 4 Premium assets on the top, but everything below was free. Now its every 4 assets it switches from Free to Premium which not only makes my searches longer and tedious, but now I have twice or more the amount of pages to go through. What would usually have only 2 pages of free assets is now 4 to 5 pages with the mixing of the premium stuff.

I get what they are trying to do, its to promote paid for assets to increase sales. That's fine I honestly wouldn't mind it so much if it wasn't so forced and frequent, if it was every 8 free assets comes 4 premium I wouldn't make a big deal about it, I probably wouldn't have made this post.
But to me the way it is right now defeats the point of the filter :-/
(Questions)
-Is this change Temporary or Permanent?
-If its permanent then whats the point of a free filter anymore?
I made this post mainly to get a better understanding of whats happening and if anyone else is feeling the same way about this as I am, because so far no one is really talking about this at all.
