Like many adult companies today I think they are doing the minimum until the business reaches the shutdown point where fixed costs exceed revenue.
If you think about it CCBill's revenues are in great part tied to paysites and affiliates even though they do other things too.

Yup. I agree 100% with this too, hence my "in part" qualification. But it's not just payment processor reps that've become scarce, most service providers are less common here unless they're small/new and need the exposure.
But indeed, CCBill seems to have been doing just above the minimum to keep things going and at least retain some stable of clients to process for. But my hope is that subscription sales aren't on a fully terminal trajectory - they're in decline for sure but perhaps there will always be some niches that survive, and thereby a reason for processors to stick around too.
