While I do not have a ton of clips up there (300 or so), I have some unique clips. 2017 I averaged over $400/month (with less footage up there). 2018 much more volatile with best month being $621 and worst being $235.
2019 however peaked in February and has been dropping like a rock ever since with last month sales being $70.
Has anyone else experienced drop off? Did they change their algorithm or something?

My story is equal to yours, same number of clips, sales and same drop in sales. My last 4 months have been very low.
The only difference is that I started in 2015 on Pond5.
Looking at the prices of the competition clips, yes they were lowered the values, by Pond5 I think.
When this happened to me, I raised my prices as they were before.
Maybe I was penalized in the search for results.
Similar videos to mine by some competitors are between $ 25 and $ 50 for HD and I was between $ 59 and $ 79.
Some videos, which I did not sell or with very little sales, I lowered the value to $ 49 for who knows, be in search of results.
The clips that I always had excellent sales kept the same values of $ 69 and $ 79 HD
But yes, tough times in Pond5, at least for me too.

unfortunately it is happening not only with pond5 but with all agencies. Too many clips and pictures customers more and less the same. The imagery market it at its end.

not at all - demand is still growing, but supply is growing much faster - it's just becoming harder to make the kind of $ we could a year ago
