Title: So, someone built Blog Surf[0] and I spent my morning weaving through various blogs (since it has a directory), and first thing that caught my eye was that for every 5 blogs I checked, only 1 had comments open on article pages.<p>If I look at posts like this one[1] and this one also[2] - these are extremely detailed articles (very interesting too), but no comments? I am not pointing my finger towards the authors, either.<p>It&#x27;s just weird that commenting is being pushed either to Twitter or email.<p>What do you think about this?<p>I fully understand that blog comments can be a pain in the butt to moderate when the average Joe just starts leaving &quot;Thanks!&quot; with a link to their website. But, it&#x27;s perfectly normal to remove the ability for anyone to link back to their website.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30844149" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30844149</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wattenberger.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;css-cascade" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wattenberger.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;css-cascade</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.joshwcomeau.com&#x2F;css&#x2F;understanding-layout-algorithms&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.joshwcomeau.com&#x2F;css&#x2F;understanding-layout-algorit...</a>
