How does disqus work

After careful evaluation and review we finally decided to kill Disqus on Crunchify and enable default WordPress comment form. On Crunchify, we have been using Disqus with Disqus Conditional Load plugin as it was lazy initializing plugin on user click event or mouse scroll event. There is a basic plan which is Ads Supported.

I just did simple check and saw Disqus adds total 57 external files on single blog post. Trust issue. What do you think what Disqus gets from all above javascripts?

Somehow somewhere they are tracking all metrics which you may not want them to track. Native ad units are placed around comments. Pick the type of ad most suited to your site. You're in complete control. Adapts to your page.

Disqus ads are responsive -- they adapt to the look of your site and change layout based on device and width. Revenue analytics. Disqus is absolute crap. It labeled all my comments as spam, simply because I copied and pasted some of my comments to different places where the same topic was being discussed. Disqus seems to track you and remember your computer, so to create another account and actually be able to comment, you have to find another computer…but THAT works, by the way.

Disqus should be facing the same anti-trust action as other big tech entities who have been finding ways to thwart and block conservative speech. You even admit to doing so. I had the same experience. I did not post the same information across different articles. I was not even hostile and did not use foul language.

My account was marked as SPAM, and all the sites that use the service automatically ban those accounts. They are definitely suppressing conservative comments. Yes, you can export comments in the Disqus web administration. Then import into WordPress in the comments section of the WP administration panel. I found disqus on my google account while doing some routine checking and maintainable.

If it was one of those things that comes with the phone I wondered if removing it would cause other programs to misbehave. I also get a lot of telemarketers calls and wondered if disqus might be a contributing factor. I use email and play games on my Android phone as well as contribute to one discussion site from time to time that I have been a member of for many years. Can you address my concerns so I can decide if disqus is causing me problems and if I should remove it from my Google account?

Thank you for your help. I was searching for a good reason to remove Disqus from my blog, and you helped me a lot, so thank you! Just wondering, if you had to choose another comment plugin to use in your WordPress site, which one would you choose?

I receive about reply emails in my spam box about every hour all at once. While it is indeed true that Disqus has several issues on both admin panels and user interface and also the moderator team constantly keeps trying to cover those big issues, not bothering to actually at least inform users about them, there is another reason people keep using Disqus.

As a user, I actually like that it allows commentors to view and control their comments on several sites all in a single account. It makes things a lot easier for users to view the replies to their comments and participate in discussions. While your reasoning makes sense, the kind of commenting system WordPress uses is way out of date already and being unable to edit and control your comments on contents is a huge con.

What you say is true, but nobody is arguing that point. Yes, Disqus is convenient. This article is about the other problems that you get when you sign up. Again, this is not a comparison based on features. Awesome analysis and details.

Thanks for sharing rest of the community. I just landed to your page, because I was trying to comment on one the websites that apparently is using Disqus, and I did not want to sign-up just to be able to make a comment. You are spot on. I reported it as a phishing scam and blocked the email address.

That was the end of it…. Needless to say, I immediately deleted the account, and will never use Disqus again. Best of luck getting anyone with customer service by phone or email. Nothing but a black hole. Thanks for an insightful article just when I was considering Disqus for my blog. Yes, plain old WordPress commenting system. It does take a bit of management.

Thanks for this helpful article. No way to contact anyone in that entire company! But I stuck with Disqus for several years. Until now. You want them to return to your store and make a subsequent purchase. You expect them to tell their social network about their great experience with your store. But how do you make these things happen? And in the most streamlined manner? Let us introduce you to your solution, Disqus.
