Unlike Reddit, HN actually makes downvoted posts unreadable(unless you go to the pain of highlighting the text or changing the CSS).

  I think this needs to be questioned. Visually show downvotes with a number or a red color somewhere. But, making it difficult to read needs to be challenged.

    This has been criticized thousands of times. The fact that it makes the site less accessible is what annoys me the most.

  Yeah, but you still shouldn't care. There's nothing you can do about it, just decide if it's worth taking the hit to say what you want to say.

      They can if they put in the effort. At least it's there to be found.
