How many academic paper services online?

There has been an even further reduction in the number of fly by night companies that exist online because of Paypal's refusal to work with questionable academic writing companies. Since not all countries have an alternative, internationally accepted remittance center, the writing companies of the no-good-kind have been forced to close shop. I think there are no more than a handful of legitimate academic writing sites at the moment. Aside from the Paypal situation, most writers have also moved away from the middle man method of writing and have decided to take their chances with self-promotion through social media. So these problematic companies are not as many as they were before.

Only a handful of online academic paper services still exist at this point. The way that technology has caught up with research and editing services has all but killed the human academic writing service market for the freelancers. While we are hoping that students will somehow return to hiring human writers and services, it does not look like that will be happening in the near future. There are still old school students out there who firmly believe in the talents and skills of the human writer as opposed to technology reliant papers and they are the ones keeping these struggling companies and independent writers in business.
