I’m one who resisted the change to comment vote display here, and I’m happy with the change. Similarly, at MetaFilter, I’ve adopted the increasingly common practice of hiding favorites. A few Discourse forums hide likes, and so on. People are finding that not having this information makes them happier. That doesn’t mean you are wrong to prefer to see the votes, of course.

I would, though, like if the person you’re replying to could give you a public upvote to signal a friendly end to a conversation.
