I see your point. But for me, I often don't have time to digest everything. So if I'm going to only read some of the comments, I'd rather quickly find the best ones and read those.

I guess it just depends on your approach to how you consume HN comments. That's probably why this topic is so divisive.

I hate the new system. Can I be any more explicit?

EDIT: I'm at -1 now and that's ok, because I have no other way to share my approval of the parent comment. If you enjoy reading long threads of +1, keep the scores hidden.
