Did Hacker News pioneer hiding upvotes, or was there prior art?
- Dirlewanger 8y agoI never saw what doing that really solves because comments are still sorted by upvote (aside from the occasional new comment being placed at the top, I actually like that), how many isn't really that relevant. Reddit does the same thing and it didn't really solve anything either.
- mrguyorama 8y agoHow old is Hacker News compared to image boards, which often have no voting or approval scheme at all?
- tlrobinson 8y agoSure, but I'm talking about sites that have a voting/liking mechanism and don't show the actual votes.
