In addition to the calls to disqus' API, I'm also seeing one or multiple requests to the following domains:

  tapestry.tapad.com
  pippio.com
  p.nexac.com
  adadvisor.net
  s.thebrighttag.com
  emailretargeting.com
  loadus.exelator.com
  tags.bluekai.com
  bevo.adsnative.com
  bcp.crwdcntrl.net

Open the console on this page and see for yourself:

  https://jsfiddle.net/bmfmr2ps/

Also, they clearly have no domain whitelisting, as I can just load up Google's Disqus engine in a jsfiddle.

The worst part. I am actually paying Disqus to opt-out of their ad service. I call bullshit.

One more gripe: I did a 3G throttle test with browser caching turned off, and loading all this garbage for Disqus took a few seconds! Time to remove from my site completely. Anyone know any good replacements?
