Most individuals I know who try and maintain an online presence through their blog do so on their free time (usually outside of a regular job). I don't think it is humanly possibly to stay on top of moderating comment spam once your site is targeted. 5thirtyone receives over 300 spam comments per day. I wouldn't ever consider moderating comments myself unless the spam filters marked them as potential false positives.
