Paid and partner accounts are the way things are going mostly because of the organized bullshit that comes from certain areas. I don't use partner accounts right now, but I have huge IP blocks out there to keep the worst of the worst off my submit page. If I didn't I would be looking at literally hundreds more crappy unlistable sites per day.
It's really a game of numbers. Most link sites will handle anywhere between 20 - 100 new listings per day. Some of the biggest lists are seeing 3k submits per day. Do the math. Why would any sane link site owner want to decline 2900 sites per day?
partner accounts (free or paid) solve many issues, and help to keep quality high and the money flowing.
All of my new projects going forward will be on a partner account basis.
