Okay so CCP shill here, but I quite like the system in r/sino.
Most, if not all, of the threads have comments with a hidden score. Only the truly terrible/derivative/bait are hidden away, but you can still click on it to see the comment, as well as the many replies below.
I feel like that helps reduce bias when I evaluate comments, because I'm considering the comment's content by itself, and ignore the 'popularity' of the comment. It also helps you critically appraise arguments/discussions, as you consider what the comments are actually arguing for instead who has the highest score.
To add to this, I think you have to ask why it's important that others can see the upvotes/downvotes of a post? Is the location of the post not enough?
As much as I want to think of myself as a critical thinker if I see someone with a heavily downvoted post I will think it's bad before I read it and vice versa for a heavily upvoted post.
