They removed the requirement for a DUNS for individual developers, so I switched my account to individual from my previous LLC. My LLC has been inactive for a long time and I didn't feel like changing my address with the IRS and all that. But all of my apps are free.

But the real issue is they keep making it more difficult to keep the app active. There are so many documentation requirements that I just didn't have time for, so my apps which are really old got removed over one of those new requirements a while back. I fixed a few like making it an adults only app because it has a recipe for mulled wine. But it just wasn't worth all the other stuff and I haven't wanted to recompile in the newer SDK. If I could do it without making any changes to the code it would be fine, but there's been too many changes. One of these days I'll update it, but I'm one of the few people who even use my apps, so it's not a big deal.
