How it works
OpenWeb (formerly Spot.IM) hosts the comment section and conversation layer for large publishers. It runs the commenting UI, registration, and the moderation behind it: a mix of its own AI classifiers for toxicity and spam, publisher configurable rules, and an optional human moderation team. Publishers get a dashboard, and OpenWeb monetizes the conversation space with ads, which is how it can be low cost or free to the publisher.
It's a business model choice as much as a tool. You get a managed comment section and give up some control over the experience and revenue.
