Removing comments to avoid the challenges and cost of moderation seems like the modern, practical approach, but it also means losing out on all of the good comments that could have been posted.
On the other hand, sometimes comment sections go bad and then I don't feel inclined to read them, and sometimes avoid the site entirely. And it is jarring when sites that once had comment sections decide to remove them.
