The problem is that voting in general has decreased because of this change (people like seeing the current score to adjust it depending on their perspective - see a good comment at 1, upvote it, if it has 20 already leave it, see a bad comment with 10 points? Downvote). This has resulted in the stopping of good posts floating to the top of the page making it hard to skim through posts with lots of comments in them.
