Is it time to QUIT Pond5?

I started in 2018 and made 700$ and 2019 only 280$. I regularly upload to Shutterstock and Adobestock as well. Sales from pond5 have gone down massively, and it's not getting better in anyways. Is it time to QUIT pond5?

Why ask here? Ultimately it's your decision, there is lots of other agencies that have even less sales. It's your work and you choose where to display it.

I have never sold a single item here. Their site is difficult to navigate and impossible to update one's profile. I'm going to look elsewhere.

pradeep_kmpk14, I left Shutterstock because they started ripping off their contributors with the same type of shit that P5 just pulled with Hyperstock but they wouldn't let anybody opt-out, so I deleted my account there and came here instead. Now that I have been here for over a year I can see that the whole stock-business thing is about to hit rock-bottom. There is nowhere else to go as far as I know but that doesn't mean it's worth staying neither. I have decided not to waste any more time on stock-footage until I see the market shifting back but I won't delete my account here quite yet. What you do is up to you.
