I didn't see this before I posted, but I'm glad that's the case. In fact, it might be great for contributors that don't have a large library or aren't ranked as well.

with ai image generation the value of stock imagery in terms of licensing out to third parties approaches zero. On the other hand, in terms of its contribution to training a model, the image value also approaches zero on a per image basis.
I dont have any confidence they can create a fair compensation method.
If they can properly compensate the stock contributors based on usage then I think this is a very fair approach.
