Hi there, I work at Disqus. Just wanted to clarify that Disqus will continue to be free w/ optional advertising for small / non-commercial sites. This makes up the vast majority of total number of sites on our network.

Here was a comment related to this topic on the blog post https://kinsta.com/blog/disqus-ads/#comment-3153203837

We're planning to post an update clarifying this on our blog soon.

The App Store crashes on my iPod Touch 4th gen whenever I conduct a search. I can barely flip past the first app before it crashes altogether.

"20-30k daily active users."

That seems rather...low for a $400 million valuation.

Well, according to the author himself, Techcrunch writers pretty much have free reign on what to write, without any posts needing "approval" before going live. Source: http://parislemon.com/post/9859907607/its-not-a-mirror-its-a...
