I don't see the point. Unless you're massively famous, you'll only get a couple of comments and a bunch of spam.
Because you won't see much signal to noise, you'll forget you had comments turned on (even with your email notifications) and when you look back at a post in a year you'll find someone said something interesting but now it's way late.

They also look fairly bad if you're trying to have a professional site and they're always empty or only have someone's link to dodgy pharmacy sites.

Most people allow a way of contacting or continuing the discussion on social media platforms instead.
