Got rid of them years ago. Never looked back.
Comments require moderating. If you're not prepared to do that, outsource it to somewhere like reddit or HN where others can do it for you, and do it better.
But mostly I got rid of it because my blog is about _opinions_. I have an opinion. And the only thing you'll get by allowing comments, is someone underneath your delightful article telling you your opinion is wrong.
- KajMagnus 8y agoWhat is your blog about, if I may ask? Since it's about opinions, I'm guessing it's maybe about music and movies, where there is no "true" answer about if the music/movie/etc is "good"? Would you expect blog comments for a blog post X of yours, to be more about opinions, than comments at a social news aggr site, about the same blog post X?
- kayamon 8y agohttp://www.codersnotes.com http://www.codersnotes.com, if you really want to go see it. Coding and tech stuff. I've generally found that there's definitely a difference in tone between blog comments and comments on HN/Reddit. People tend to be more direct (in a bad way) on a blog.
- KajMagnus 8y agoThanks for the link. I read "In Search Of The Lost Program", interesting analogies you found, I think. Ok then I better understand how it can be both softw dev & opinions at the same time :- )
