I've actually found my experience is somewhat different. I'm reading more comments now and voting more often. I imagine your comment, as it now stands after 11 hours at the top, has plenty of votes behind it -- previously I wouldn't have considered voting for it since it already had plenty of "momentum," now, I can't tell, so I voted. Conversely I'm less inclined to just vote for a low total post to "promote" it. At the end of the day I find I'm treating each post more fairly without the count displayed.
