no visible karma for anyone but the top few

It took one click to see that user abraae has 6671, as of this writing. Or did I miss the point in dramatic fashion?

I interpreted this point to mean that there is no visible karma for any of a user's posts.

E.g. A reply/comment is at the top of the chain, but you don't know if there is a difference of 1 karma or 100 karma between it and the next comment.

Oops. I was really meaning no badges, karma etc. showing next to people's posts but forgot you can see it by clicking in.

I wonder the same, I can definitely see the karma of users who have only double digit (and I think I have seen single digit) karma.

I think it's a lot less obvious here than on Reddit you could hover over a username and see it.

You did. His score has little to do with anything on the site. That's the point.

There's no meaningful leaderboard.

[kibwen]

There is, but the fact that almost nobody knows that it exists might be a feature.

I won't link it; per the hacker ethos, I encourage you to find it yourself.

My qualifier is empirical, and not at all pejorative.
