Interesting chat, guys. I'm no fan of Disqus (their privacy terms, the data mining, and the UX of the platform itself), but some nice points from Daniel re. the state of engagement and content.

One thing I would say is that I'm surprised comment developers haven't come up with a way (yet) to make the experience native to the platform experience.

For example, a written post would have written comments; a video post would have an option to leave a video comment; and a podcast post would have an option to leave an audio comment.

Thoughts?
