Really? Is this because you do not like Disqus? Or is it because you are commenting more on websites like Hacker News instead of commenting on the original articles?

I have found myself much more interested in commenting on Hacker News than any of the articles I read here. The only exception I can think of is when I need to comment to the author of the article and it is obvious that they don't read Hacker News.

As for the popularity of Disqus, I see their commenting system everywhere today! And I have to admit, I think the world is a better place for it.
