Thank you for your insights and such a thorough reply. All your points are more than valid. Knowing from Hira, you are one of the most experienced users on the chain and also a very hardworking and principled one.

I try to keep the lengths of such posts, which require input, short and leave room for discussion. I think every other commenter under my post and I have highlighted the importance of SteemWorld in the chain of Steemit. It's like an integral part of the chain.
And that is the main point of my post.
We can always access information from there.
But I personally think that this should not be the scenario — Ok for deep statistics, but not for every other thing. The development can be used as an auxiliary source and while it's really helpful, it is still not Steemit itself.

Thank you for clarifying the "votes" scenario. You are right we can skip the practice of self upvoting. For revealing the hidden votes. Again it was mostly for new user, for whom, votes are not only coins but also a source of motivation (assuming, that votes indicate their content has been read).
But yes, we can totally skip it.

Coming to the comments, yes, we can always access them through SteemWorld. However, my point was about the chain of comments, that follows one reply after the other. Sometimes, it is pertinent that both comments are displayed under the parent post for understandability and meaningful dialogue. This situation is very frustrating for me. During the worst of the Steemit issue, the comments didn't appear for days.

I have emphasized the same in one my replies here to denmark guy

Personally, I believe the Steemit interface should function smoothly to maintain user interest

Thank you again for your visit and such detailed reply.
