Upvote count was the "must read" buoy that helped me navigate HN
A high upvote count meant that the comment was a "must read". It was my light that allowed me to navigate HN. And now it's gone :-(
Please bring it back.
Please.
- pjscott 16y agoIt would also be possible to bring back the red dot, on high-voted comments. Perhaps the dot can be made bigger as the vote count increases. That would act as a pretty effective must-read signal, I think, without compromising any of the goals of hiding upvote count.
- zoowar 16y agoIs there a post that lists the reason for the change?

- nametoremember 16y agoThere's a serious amount of moaning about this subject. I don't think it helps to fill up HN with these topics.
