I don't want people chasing karma here. I especially don't want to encourage it for something they can solve with one line in their user stylesheet. "Hackers", indeed. I became so troubled by my own reaction that I added a couple lines of CSS to disable the absolute counter in the corner of every page. That number is toxic. https://imgur.com/a/uPnW7bT https://imgur.com/a/uPnW7bT

Why not share your CSS?

    Oh, this is JavaScript. I was curious to see how ken was doing it with CSS. Thanks though. Your userscript does indeed still work.

        Afraid not. I'm pretty sure he has an account here though. Edit: his username is ibdknox.

      Here's a CSS-only hacky version I threw together: #hnmain td td:last-child .pagetop { font-size: 0; } #hnmain td td:last-child .pagetop a { font-size: 10pt; } #hnmain td td:last-child .pagetop a:first-child::after { content: ' | '; }

I use it as someone-might-have-replied-to-your-comment indicator, if I see it change there's a high chance someone interacted with me and I wouldn't notice it otherwise.

  There are a couple free services that will email you, which is more reliable. I’ve been using http://hnreplies.com http://hnreplies.com for awhile. I’m not saying that means you should hide your karma.
