Hmm, no obvious way to make money, do we assume they last until they run out of VC money?

- ivankirigin 19y agoAn obvious way to make money: Persistent reputation is extremely valuable. Extended and deep information about a user from their writings and the sites they visit is extremely valuable. Think about the targeted advertising down the long tail, where eCPM will be huge.
- DougBTX 19y agoI'd hope their plan is more than to reach some critical mass then start inserting ads into people's blogs. Will it be "put our ads on your blog, and we'll split the profits" or "pay for Disqus or we'll put ads on your site"? I guess we'll wait and see, perhaps they'll manage to productise it, if they've not reached the maximum price point yet.
- ivankirigin 19y agoThere are many ways for them to make money. My point was to counter your comment that there were no obvious ways.
