Is Pond5 nowadays no longer a good company for music sales?

Hello, I've done a lot of research on a good company to continue selling my soundtracks, today I work for AudioJungle, and got great results! my profit was very good.
but seeing comments from users of POnd5 I feel insecure about sales, I'm new here, and I know it depends on a high number of tracks for good sales, however when I joined AudioJungle, the first week with only 1 track I had 9 sales and this excited me a lot.
What's going on with Pond5 these days?
Is she failing?
is not getting good results?
I only see AudioJungle being well recommended by many friends ....

The following is only my opinion, feel free to disagree.
I do business in both marketplaces. They differ in their approach and you must also. AudioJungle's curation policy is much more strict than Pond5's. They're looking for material they think is very marketable in the moment. They are much more picky about production quality than Pond5. If you can produce the kinds of material they're looking for, you'll do very well. I think also that they support new releases more vigorously, however this means you have to promote your "back catalog" if you want to keep getting sales from older items.
Pond5 is much more liberal curation-wise, in my opinion. Unless a category is absolutely glutted with items, or too obviously a rip-off of someone else's work, they'll let it pass. Therefore, as an artist you have more control .The ability to split 50-50 without exclusivity is also attractive, The downside is that the market here is much more crowded. This, in turn, means you must promote everything you do from day one. The days when you could upload music to a marketplace and expect everyone to just find it are long gone.
Again, just my opinions. B~)
