Mimicking one of reddit's least popular decisions WRT site structure, functionality, etc. (read: it is non political) is probably not a good thing but wtf do I know.
Yeah I hated that change. It encouraged hive mind shit.
You used to be able to post a hot take and see 400 downvotes and 399 upvotes, and that is pretty effective post if you are going against some established wisdom - it shows there's a break in an assumed consensus.
Now it looks like 2 people cruised past the comment and downvoted it.

This is bullshit, why even remove it? Knowing how many people disagree with your post is just as valuable as knowing how many agree.
