At first I don't think that the returns are diminishing, the returns might have lowered for those that don't know what they're doing, but for the 10% of top submitters it has increased during the last 2 years. Actually you can see public trackers of submitters that get 700k+ uniques per day, and I don't even want to know what people make that only use their access_logs to track visitors.

But due to the amount of sites that is out there actually you need a submission software, there are more than 150 sites out there that actually sell spots/partner accounts, more than 1500 that give free partner accounts, and much more smaller ones that accept simple free submissions. To keep that organized without a submitter/database wastes by far more time (=money) as a good submission software would cost.
