I LOVE THIS!!!
I've hidden my score/points on HN via UBlock Origin. I've also hidden the downvote button so I can't downvote anyone (one reason I wish I could run another browser on iOS so I could do the same there)
I want to see reasons responses to my comments not just downvotes which 5 out of 6 times seem like ideological downvotes which is not what downvotes are supposed to before. I'm tempted myself to click the downvote button if I strongly disagree hence the reason I hid them from myself.
Likes are not as bad is dislikes but I hid all the points/scores on those stack overflow too. An answer should be valid based on it's content not the it's score or the point rep of its answerer.
I agree that there's some maybe usefulness to ordering but I'm not entire convinced it outweighs the downsides of popularity where a celeb user gets up votes or a popular opinion gets upvotes effectively drowning out any valid criticism.
I really wish HN would get rid of the Q&A voting system. Bad faith comments can be flagged. And ideally bad flaggers can be disciplined.
