Feature request : comments in blog posts

well blog posting is a nice thing how about adding comments in blog posts then the blogger can know what things were to be added and which blog he can make next time and other useful things .
what are your views ?
I'm pretty sure lichess must have taken this into consideration before they added the feature blog posts. Why I think that they did not add this - To stop people from giving "toxic" comments. Some people will just give non-sense comments (which have no relation to the topic) or they will pin-points minor mistakes in the person's blog. To avoid this lichess mustn't have added commenting under blog posts as lichess didn't find a real need for people to tell the blogger what was to be added, etc. since there is no need to correct others in every single thing and we can just let it be as it is.
I agree with @plsdontclosemyacc.this will help in making more interesting and fun.
Some blog posts (not all) have a section at the bottom where you can go in a forum and discuss the blog. I think if we add posts directly to the blog it'll basically be a forum.

chess.com lets users leave comments on blogs. The point of a blog is to be a more personal and detailed forum post.

Forums are different from blogs because forums are much more unorganized, lacking purpose often, centered about site feedback/issues/bugs/experiences on the site itself. In the end, forums are unorganized comment sections.

Blogs which, when written well, revolve around a central theme (chess opening/player history, narrative pieces talking about people's first experiences at a tournament, legitimate deep dive investigations into Fat Frtiz 2, etc). Blog comment sections tend to be more thoughtful and organized too.

I hope that is clear.

I agree with you, although a lot of people might not use the blog posts appropriately causing spam and unnecessary comments.

I think maybe at the bottom of a blog (all blogs) there should be a link to a sub forum talking about the Blog.

I'm also fine with adding a comment section directly below the blog if people use and respond appropriately and don't give unnecessary information.

Thanks
sooo comment in blog post is supposedly optional like let the blog poster decide if there can be comments made or not - similar to youtube?
