+So, tl;dr, I still run about 100M images per year for users, but now it's a pretty small percentage of MD use overall, which is right where it should be. I like to handle the difficult cases that move the tools forward, including the cases where MegaDetector doesn't work well, or the cases where it works but requires some special handling or new postprocessing features, or the cases where someone has an intractable backlog of images that they need help digging out of, *after* which they can transition to a self-serve approach. But the "default" now is "self-serve", which is a huge step forward from 2022! And when I am running MD for users, the goal is to "graduate" almost everyone to "self-serve", which wasn't the case in the MDv4 era. That change is due more to the software ecosystem than to the difference between MDv4 and MDv5.
