For blog-posts which contains technical how-to information, the comments often contain corrections or other additional information which may be relevant for later releases or other distros.

I’ve certainly found that useful more than once.

Yes, this is one example of useful comments. It's just that, for my site, those tended to be over email, which I generally respond to immediately, so it's equivalently useful.

Comment sections are especially good for sites which the author doesn't update, so you can read the correction in the comment.
