I came here because I don't know what to make of this email either...
I've already lost interest. Back to life.

There is nothing good to expect from agencies. Period.
In the threads on this forum there were some naive or desperate hopes. But just hopes. It will not go further to win-win with any entity monopolizing communication with a client. Stock imagery business is not an exclusion. Please secure yourself with other activities. The pendulum may not swing the other way, but the spiral will turn down. Sorry for the pessimistic notes, but please think.

I opted out. If I can't understand what they're doing, I won't be able to tell if there is an error.

Very right understanding.

My thoughts, though my concern is not so much that there could be an error I would not notice (as this happens with other agencies as well, for example Alamy, where some sales sometimes never get reported and other than by chance there is also no way for you to ever notice), but simply that the information given is way too vague.
I have absolutely no idea what earnings I could expect from this sheme (and seeing as all agencies do is cut our earnings and sell images for even cheaper, it's very obvious that earnings would not be to my advantage) and if it weren't for threads about this in microstock forums, I would not even understand how it is supposed to work at all. Opting in would feel like signing a treaty I did not get to read.
Sooner or later we might not even be given a chance and DepositePhotos might change to some unlimited downloads/shared revenue model altogether - but they aren't anywhere near my top earners, so I would not hesitate to pull my port, should it come to this.
