Unpopular opinion: in this day and age, comment sections under blog posts and especially YouTube videos tend to turn extremely toxic so fast it doesn't make any sense to keep them open at all. I haven't seen any comment different than memes, FUD or trolling under a YouTube video in years.

Maybe there is good reasons why this kind of changes result in comments that are less than praising...
A <comments> tag would be a nice addition to HTML. I would happily block them all, except from sites like this where comments are the main point.
