Look for it getting harder to get into any directories that actually vet submissions. I own a few directories & I'm getting badly spammed by directory submission so-called services.
Other than simply ignoring the submission guidelines, they are now usually supplying worthless reciprocal pages that aren't linked from the submitted site. This, together with the massively increased submission count, has increased my workload and decreased my tolerance to the point where I now look at new submissions with a viewpoint that I'll probably be deleting them.
Where a few months ago I erred on the side of approving (on-topic) links, I now err on the side of deleting them, and I've probably deleted a few legitimate submissions.
I'm sure other directory owners are feeling much the same as I do.
