I suspect this method means she is only requesting when people notify that they have offers.

I understand why some people are troubled by the mass rejection, but you can see that she requests faster than she rejects. To me, this means she probably has a system she uses to sort and read queries, and when they get to be a certain age, she knows that if she hasn't requested yet, she isn't going to, and it's time to reject those queries.

This agent has 82% query reply rate, which feels like I lie when she multibatches 1000 rejections at a time. It would be more honest to just note that she can't reply.

This agent also notes directly on her QM form that she has a full list and only stays open in case something catches her eye. She makes it clear she's not actively looking to build a list.
