I remember when platform farmers started to enforce comments without links on blogs. How almost everyone just bought into that bullshit. Before you could find blogs and blog postings covering the same topics (and/or personal interests) as your own blog, contribute high quality comments and get rewarded with traffic (depending on the quality of your comments) AND you got high quality comments from people who wrote entire blogs about the topic your article covered which was fantastic for the reader.
