Maybe I'm in the minority here based on the comments I can see so far, but I really do value good comments on a blog when they come up. I do sympathise with writers who don't want to deal with moderating it, working out how to manage them is a problem, but finding the one of dozens of spaces people are talking about the thing written is also challenging. I mean, my own blog doesn't have comments. Twitter et al don't really solve this I find because you really can't find the different threads of discussion that are occurring after the fact. It's really not helpful when you're trying to understand what was being said at the time on those kinds of platforms. I don't want to have to be an archaeologist to work out what was being said at the time about a topic. One recent trend which I do like is authors explicitly calling out spaces to respond to their work, via a link. I see this a lot with HN and reddit threads being called out by the author and it's really nice reading the follow on thoughts of people who've engaged with the writing, perhaps years later from when the initial article was written. But I do think we need a better solution to this.
