NOTHING works to see comments from OpenWeb

Google is useless half the time. Seen two relevant posts (on here and Reddit) and nothing worked. Every single time I try to read comments on PageSix.com (comments are supported by OpenWeb) I don't see them. Just earlier today it would at least show the number of comments but it never showed the comments (just an empty space) and after looking around on the NextDNS dashboard I decided to add a few more blocklists, which now I can't even see the amount of comments made and it always tells me to be the first to comment; which is entirely false because as soon as I turn the DNS off, there's absolutely zero issues viewing and even making comments, on the same article.

 

I've tried deleting all of the blocklists one by one, going back and refreshing the page/browser to see if it worked, until I deleted all of them. And nothing worked. It even continued to not show the number of comments either.  So I turned my blocklists back on (NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist, AdGuard DNS filter, Steven Black, AdGuard Mobile Ads filter, oisd, notracking, AdGuard Tracking Protection filter and Energized Ultimate). I actually ended up disabling the ability to open Facebook comments with some blocklist I was looking around at (don't remember which one) but have since deleted it. 

 

I have nothing on my Denylist and I've tried openweb.com, pagesix.com, www.pagesix.com, and t.pagesix.com in my Allowlist, refreshed the page and browser and nothing worked.

 

I'm using Google Chrome on Android but even the Samsung Internet didn't work for the comments. I have Native Tracking Protection on as well as Block Disguised Third-Party Trackers. Also have the Threat Intelligence Feeds, AI-Driven Threat Detection, Google Safe Browsing, Cryptojacking Protection, DNS Rebinding Protection, IDN Homograph Attacks Protection, Typosquatting Protection, Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) Protection, Block Newly Registered Domains (NRDs), Block Dynamic DNS Hostnames, Block Parked Domains, Block Top-Level Domains (TLDs), the sexual abuse material one (which is irrelevant to this), Anonymized EDNS Client Subnet, Cache Boost, and CNAME Flattening on, if any of these are relevant to this situation. 

I'm really not savvy regarding any of these but none of these should be preventing OpenWeb comments? 

 

And one more thing. I don't use Yahoo News but one of the posts/Google search results I seen (on Reddit) was of someone being unable to see Yahoo News comments, which are powered by OpenWeb too apparently, and after checking if I could see them; I couldn't. So it's definitely an OpenWeb thing. Unfortunately none of their responses helped them or me. So if anyone could help it would be awesome. Thanks.

    Add to Allowlist: «api-2-0.spot.im»

    Use less lists, and since you say you have difficulties try only with this ones: AdGuard DNS filter, oisd, notracking.  Energized Ultimate is a no go for someone who doesn't want troubles.

    Refreshing the page after you add to Allowlist something that was blocked does not matter, you need to wait 5 minutes after it was blocked.

      losnad it still didn't work. Added the address to the Allowlist, deleted AdGuard Tracking, Steven Black and Energized Ultimate. Waited 5 minutes after I added it to the Allowlist, refreshed the browser and it didn't do anything. When I turned the DNS off to see if the post even had comments and it automatically showed the comments without even having to refresh or anything. I don't know what it is

    It need to be in the correct format and in the right configuration (if you have more than one)
