Series F?! Heh. It's amazing that Disqus is worth anything at all. Standard Wordpress spam filtering takes care of bots on low-traffic sites, and the friction of yet another pile of tracking junk seems high enough to dissuade people from commenting, or "engaging with your brand," or whatever it's called.
- adtac 9y agoTwo things: 1. I think you may have meant to post that as a top-level comment, not as a reply to me. 2. The Series F was for Zeta Global, not Disqus.
- username223 9y ago1. No, I meant it as a tangential reply to your comment. 2. Yes. I think it's crazy that an ad-tech firm is using its sixth round of funding to buy a worthless comment/tracking widget.
- adtac 9y agoYeah, I didn't even know there was a Series F. I thought there's Series A, B, and maybe C. That's it.
