How about removing the total number of karma points from user's profiles now?

Excluding our own profiles, what are the advantages of seeing other's karma?

If we're going to remove the presence of karma from comments, why not with the user profiles as well?

And what is the advantage of seeing our own karma? It seems to me that it is (marginally) more useful to see karma of other users than one's own.

I think the concept of seeing your own karma total goes hand in hand with seeing karma scores on your own comments. People will want to track and monitor their karma if they are able to.
