If I were to ask 10 people on the street what they think about comments online when it comes to politics, I’d likely hear that political opinions online are often loud, colorful, and most-often uncivil.

Name calling, finger pointing, and relentless ridicule are often what people expect.

But that isn’t always the case.

Hey there,

Quickly want to share that FiveThirtyEight  is conducting a poll about why people comment (or not).  Who better to answer that question than you!

SAN FRANCISCO (April 15, 2016) -- Taboola®, the world’s leading discovery platform, today announced its global partnership with Disqus, the world’s leading audience development platform that helps publishers grow and engage with audiences online. The collaboration integrates Taboola’s existing platform with Disqus’ massive distribution across millions of websites around the world, effectively democratizing native advertising for the web.

At Disqus, we love the Internet. And we love that we help publishers of all sizes create places to share content with their readers and build lasting communities. We feel that building a great platform for publishers and commenters depends on hearing directly from communities about what's working and what's sucking. Earlier this week, we sat down with the staff and community at Spoiler TV for an AMA (ask me anything) interview to figure out how we can improve Disqus.

At Disqus, we understand that publishers are constantly under pressure to produce content, attract readers, and find ways to make money–all of which takes a lot of time and is increasingly expected to be done with fewer and fewer resources. To make it easier for publishers to measure whether their efforts are working, in the coming weeks, select publishers will start receiving a weekly reporting email from Disqus.

As we mentioned last week, we’ve been in the process of updating Reveal revenue analytics. Well, today, we delivered!

Today, we’re letting the world know about two important changes to the products publishers enjoy.
