I am not convinced hiding points results in voter apathy. My points received per comment seem to be higher after that change.

Of course PG has presumably actual statistics about this.

One often gets a lot of votes for a low value comment, something like a clarification. It's clearly valuable but before people would see that the vote on it was say at 2 points and wouldn't vote it up as that would be the right level for such a comment.

Comments that would have been -1 before now appear to be faded to almost nothing. I've no idea what that means WRT downvotes but presumably it means most everyone hates the opinion in that comment.
