After my experience running a WordPress blog back in the mid-late 2000s, I swore off of it. Even with the meager traffic I got I saw a constant barrage of linkfarm exploits and the like that occurred with even the most brief lapses in keeping WP up to date.
Haven't had a blog in about a decade, but when I spin one back up it'll be with a static generator like Zola[0] running on a provider like Netlify[1]. Comments are nice to have but not worth the hassle that comes with a dynamic app or the moderation overhead required to keep comment spam at bay.
