Agree. Hiding metrics by default will be too annoying. I would be happy to opt-in to something like “At the top of the comment section, randomly show me n=3 comments with hidden stats” though. Hiding karma/agreement for the first couple hours is also good.
At the top of the comment section, randomly show me n=3 comments with hidden stats
This is getting into details, but even very popular posts only tend to have on the order of 5-10 top-level comments, so giving you 3 random ones is basically getting rid of sorting.

It can be customizable, or reduced to n=1, or my intention is that you actually show the same comment twice in total.
