Hi there, this is Tony from Disqus. Noticed this wasn't mentioned during the podcast. For small, non-commercial sites, advertising will be optional and continue to remain free. That applies to the vast majority of sites, or roughly 95% of our network. Here's the blog post with more details https://blog.disqus.com/advertising-will-remain-optional-for-over-95-of-sites-on-disqus We hope to make self-serve payment options available in the next few weeks.

One last note: Livefyre's WordPress plugin is no longer supported as of October. Here's their original announcement on the changes https://livefyre.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/215571503-Details-and-important-dates
