i think it was a mistake for most sites to disable comments. You just gave away your audience to facebook and tiktok. people are selfish, they like to give feedback and rant about anything. BigTech definitely nudged them away from that and into their garden. Yeah, spam does not scale, but you 'd have to deal with that, things that scale get eaten.
The OP's blog would get a lot more engagement if it had a comment form underneat
>i think it was a mistake for most sites to disable comments.
It was not a mistake at all, and you stated exactly why. Spam.
Not just spam.
Spam. Spam. Spam. Spam. Spam. Spam.
A never ending torrent of shit. An ocean of it.
And that's before the mean spirited comments, trolls, outright illegal posts and more. Oh, and if you post anything really controversial, might as well get behind cloudflare now before you get blasted off the internet.
