OAN uses Disqus, which is well-known for censorship without telling site owners. Yet the little guys who try to run their own blogs keep using it because it's cheap and effective against spam, or whatever Disqus considers spam. Of course, these people also tend to rely on Twitter and Facebook for their "side hustles", so they're just ticks on the mainstream machine, rather than independents.

It got so bad that Bitchute started their own open-source commenting project. Not sure if they run that now, but they finally stopped using Disqus a year or so ago.
