Do you mean like how HN puts a number next to your name?

- DerekBickerton 4y agoYeah but Hackernews' karma score doesn't really mean anything to me. I mean it's great if one of my posts gets to the frontpage and all, but for me it's a useless metric. The only purpose it serves is optics into how well a post performs, but that's about it.
- whoooooo123 4y agoDoes it? How much karma do I need before I can see it?
- spockz 4y agoYou can see your karma next to your name in the top bar when logged in. Or on your profile.
- BoorishBears 4y agoActually that's something that annoys me. I used to not be able to: I set my bar to #000000, which is the same color as the text. And unless I'm imagining things, somewhere along the way it changed to #222222 I can set the topbar to #222222, but then everything else shows up in an annoying low-contrast shadow
- tpxl 4y agoI removed the top bar in uBlock origin. Sure, I can't directly click on my profile and some of the links are missing, but number don't go up anymore.
- whoooooo123 4y agoOh, I thought GP meant I could see the amount of upvotes/downvotes that another person's post has received. I can't see that (yet?)
- TeMPOraL 4y ago> I can't see that (yet?) You can't, period. There used to be a comment-level counter years ago, but it was removed as part of an experiment to see if not having it improves overall discussion quality. Apparently the experiment concluded positively, since the counter hasn't been brought back.
- theteapot 4y agoI liked HN much more before I knew karma existed. Seriously first 6m on here didn't know about it. Now I know everything seems tainted.
