Beer With Kyle: Rebuilding Site Comments for the New World
Published on February 21, 2026
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
Hey everyone,
Today I want to talk about one of our older platforms at Wealthy Affiliate.
It still works. It still delivers value. But it definitely feels like an old-world component that needs a serious refresh.
I am talking about Site Comments.
And before we rebuild it, I want your ideas.
Why This Platform Matters
Engagement matters everywhere.
On your website, comments:
- Build trust
- Increase perceived authority
- Encourage more interaction
- Improve conversions
But engagement is not just about blog comments anymore.
It matters on:
- YouTube
- Facebook ads
- X conversations
- Landing pages
- Social platforms
The way people build credibility and momentum today is broader than just website comments. So if we are going to rebuild this platform, we need to think bigger.

What Site Comments Does Today...
Right now, the system works like this:
- You request comments on your website posts
- Other members leave thoughtful comments
- Each comment costs community credits
- You can earn credits by commenting on others’ sites
It is a give-and-take model.
It has helped thousands of members create engagement, improve trust signals, and build social proof.
But the interface feels dated. And more importantly, the functionality is limited to websites.
That is where we need to evolve.
The Bigger Opportunity!
Instead of just giving this platform a visual facelift, we want to rethink it entirely.
Questions to consider:
- Should engagement only apply to websites?
- Should you be able to request engagement on YouTube videos?
- On Facebook ads?
- On social posts?
- On landing pages?
What if this became a broader Engagement Engine, not just a website comment exchange?
We could rethink:
- How credits work
- How quality is measured
- How engagement is rewarded
- How it integrates with modern platforms
We are building faster than ever. That means we can create something powerful here if we design it right.
What I Want From You.
Be creative. Even if you have never used Site Comments, your ideas still matter.
Think about:
- Where you want more engagement
- What feels clunky about the current system
- What would make it more useful
- What would make it more modern
- What would help you build trust faster
No idea is too big. No suggestion is off the table.
We do not want to simply rebuild the old version. We want to create something that fits how business and engagement actually work today. Leave your comments, ideas, feedback and creative insights below!
