I blocked Disqus locally on my computer via /etc/hosts many years ago. Reason is very simply. Because comments as genre is almost useless.

- falcor84 1y ago> comments as genre is almost useless. Writing a comment that categorizes comments as a literary genre and then immediately argues that comments are useless is some meta level deconstruction. Kudos.
- npodbielski 1y agoYou are putting comments on HN right now. i guess not entirelly useless then?
- rkomorn 1y agoOP wrote "almost useless" which, by definition, is also "not entirely useless".
- npodbielski 1y agoYou are technically correct, best kind of correct.
- heresie-dabord 1y ago> putting comments on HN [...] not entirelly useless then? Comment systems are useful/effective when someone is paying the full cost of moderation.
- malcolmxxx 1y agoIf it weren't for the "almost," the commenter would be in serious trouble.
