I don't know if I 100% agree with the idea to remove that information. Authors that are building a following will want people to know it is them who are posting. Some people do use other people's ratings to help figure out what they want to spend time reading. Also, that information is still available on the blockchain, so removing it from the site would not prevent bots from using it.

The fact that people are voting on what the think will be popular vs. what they think is good is one of the main problems.

That, and there is not much incentive to search out 'undiscovered' content that won't be getting upvoted by a bunch of whales.
