What's going wrong
Site owners who use this comment-disabling plugin report that a later release added a prominent, brightly colored top-level item to the WordPress admin menu, along with advertisements for other products. Many of them only wanted a single setting and found the promotion intrusive, especially when managing client sites where clients see the dashboard. Some removed the plugin entirely, switched to alternatives, or hid the menu with custom code. The pattern shows a real need for a way to detect and control unwanted UI changes after updates.
