The Loophole?

Guys, to be very honest, Disqus discovery CPC bids are extremely low paying and aren't anywhere around Google AdSense cost per clicks.

What i believe?

You should surely go for it and give it a try. Though its extremely important to monitor your results. In case your blog doesn't get much traffic to make 10$ per month via this Discovery widget, i believe its of no use using it as for now.

The reason being that you wont be making much as much as damage you'll be doing to your blogs via the high bounce rate as the related posts point towards external blogs so each time a person clicks, you may loose a potential page view that he had to make later on.

So try it for a month and monitor your blog's growth metrics. If its worth using and is paying off well, you can totally continue using it. After all its all about experimenting and try out new things that works for you.

Hope that post was helpful. Happy making money blogging folkes. Stay safe.
