Well, yesterday I noticed a message from them informing me, that they choose some of my content which is going to automatically enter the subscription section once they remove the marketplace, and if I don't want that to happen, I should contact them etc.
Tried to contact them, to reject this "kind" offer, and insist on all my content being deleted. I will send them one mail a day until I get a confirmation on this, don't agree to get even one clip from my portfolio to appear in their pool for even one day, and find it outrageous what they are doing now.

Was that in a different message, as I'm not seeing it in the one you've posted?

That's interesting.

Sounds like they are desperately  trying to get people to sign up  for their "great" "$0.05" (or less)/video download program.

They do have a huge enough library now that I think they can coast quite comfortably for the next 5 years, but I don't think many people will be too excited to work for pennies and submit new worik. Unfortunately - there is a large supply of "newcomers" - but - not sure if they will take the time to keyword, title, edit, etc videos for the wonderful prospect of 5 cents a video.

Plus - since they' basically screwed people over in the past (100% "we'll never change! not like they other guys!" commissions -> 50% "oops sorry we have to" -> "buh bye now, give it to us for pennies!" structure).

Now 'supposedly' how they calculate the contributor pool is by "3x the HEIGHT of commissions when contributors earned 100%" to make it sound like a "huge" amount. (They don't actually specify that number - which leads me to believe it's really just something they are picking out of their butt). Educated guess they are probably only allocated about $50k (out of their $30 million revenue) to be split amongst contributors.

But then it would be very naive to believe they were actually being honest, since they've proven themselves already to be dishonest several times over. They don't actually "commit" to any number (so no accountability whatsoever). And then - for the arbitrary number they've chosen - they'll probably squeeze it as low as possible until people actually start dropping out.

They've just gotten too greedy.

They'll struggle with mine.... I deleted it all a month or so before they pulled the plug on the market place.

Visualab:
is there way to delete all port or do we have to go through every clip?
