Google says they don't affect the algorithm. They might remove spammy comments, but that's about it. Is that true?

If you look at what Matt Cutts has said, he's the only real source on this topic right now:
1) He says Google doesn't count links in comments because "it would be pretty easy to game".
2) He says Google doesn't directly use comments for their rankings because "it would be pretty easy to game" and because they want the algorithm to be robust and not change with every update.
3) He says Google may remove spammy or low-quality comments, but that this wouldn't affect page rank: "The links in the comment itself don't count for that much".

Yes, comments affect google ranking, google considers them as a ranking factor, especially if you own a e-commerce websites, comments and reviews are everything, these are the user value in google's eye, it's the most important ranking factor, what others think about your site, or users are getting some valuable content from your site.

Mostly algorithm works on engagement, the more audience will engage with your content, site the more google will boost or site or content itself, so yes it's very important as a ranking factor.

Short answer NO.

Over the past several years, SEOs have come to understand and accept that commenting on blogs does not help build links back to their sites. In that respect, comments don't have inherent search engine optimization (SEO) value beyond participating in a conversation with like-minded people.

According to me a big NO does not affect your SEO if you are doing it in a proper way, if you are commenting over slow speed blog then Google can not index your comment and links try to comment over blogger.com related blogs it will give you Nofollow links but somewhere it is useful for your website.

According to my knowledge, low quality commenting will not give you any benefits. It will come under spam and if you are participating on a high quality platform, then I would like to suggest that you can get traffic as well as it will help in SEO.

Well, yes, they do. Because, in fact, they're so slow to load that most of the time, what you see is that Google doesn't load the content of those comments, and doesn't use them to rank that page.

It's not an ranking factor nowadays, create relevant forum backlinks instead.

Indeed, Comments will influence your SEO. before 3 years google gives values to remarks yet presently google Is a lot more brilliant than previously so google considers remarking as a spamming method.

Remarking is an old off-page strategy used to increment site positioning in SERP however on the off chance that you doing this in 2021, stop.

For the higher positioning spotlight on these things:

Make interesting and sharable substance
Create backlinks from significant position locales through( visitor posting, article accommodation, Infographic accommodation and so forth)
Do on-page appropriately
Keep away from dark cap SEO procedures
Improved your site dynamic
Ensure your site stacks quicker( Min in 2 sec)
Center around expanding Domain authority
Remain refreshed
Eliminate old substance from your site
Utilize quality pictures on sites
