Times change. Unless these USENET providers drop a whole bunch of groups they will lose Paypal and other forms of payment processing.
The reason the status quo exists is because for a long time USENET was viewed as a carriage service and nothing more. However USENET has become a relatively small group of major servers carrying huge retention of massive amounts of copyright infringing and illegal content.
Unless the incumbent providers change their operations then it will not be possible for them to process payments as time moves forward.
