From @jenmarley

The most important requirement for comments on the blog is that the comments be associated and visible on the blog post itself. Their purpose is for engagement within the context of the blog post. If the comments are elsewhere and not essentially part of the blog post or on the Gauge site, then this requirement is not met. Engagement on these posts are important to the Marketing team and as we make connections and grow an audience for Gauge.
