"Privacy" isn't the real issue for me. The reason I don't want all that tracking to happen with my comments plugin is speed.
Disqus is awful because it spins for 8 seconds before you can see any comments. All that time tracking my users and violating their privacy adds up to a terrible user experience for them.
If they could track my users and violate their privacy during the 100ms it aught to take to load comments from a database, that would be fine.
Everybody tracks and violates these days, so it's all just noise at this point. At least they don't pop up their own thing my users need to click on to accept it all.
The important thing is that comments work. And Disqus can't make that happen.
