Is there a reason we can't comment on "titled" players' blogs?

Looking for tips for tournament preparation I read this blog: lichess.org/@/mlatb/blog/how-to-prepare-for-a-chess-tournament-in-just-15-days/M3LRSxfl

The author is clearly attempting to scam players into hiring a titled player for practice games. The point is that the author is being dishonest and there is nothing the community can do to call them out. Why doesn't lichess allow this? I just get irritated when I see deliberate unethical behavior, especially anytime it involves money ( and I can hardly be the only one, right? )

Sure, this has been discussed previously, but that was a few years ago.
It is a prerogative of the author to decide whether to allow comments. Also, I don't see how that's supposed to be a scam in any way.

I don't think it should be their choice to disable comments. Imo, if you're not prepared to be critiqued, you shouldn't post. Besides, authors could write all sorts of misinformation without objections.
It's not a public forum, it's their own blog so it makes sense they can mange it the way they want.

Blogs are moderated as far as I know so they can try spreading misinformation but they won't go far I believe.

Makes sense, I guess.
