There are some arguments which have been rehashed to death on internet. Yes, I could write yet another version it, but why? Author has likely seen it a lot of times already, I am unlikely to change their mind. So downvote and move on. And I think hiding others' scores is a very important part HN's culture - making up/down votes is direct communication with author, not "virtue signalling". And authors themselves have no way to compare them with others. (Unlike Reddit, where large negative score often invite even more downvotes from "regulars")
