Oh, huh, it seems pretty clear to me that it would affect everyone (given that it’s clear that your other choices in the same UI element will affect everyone), but I’ll see whether other people are also confused and adjust if so.
(There are two different reasons to hide “top posts”, one of them is that it’s a useless thing when you are looking at your own userpage. The option turns out to address the other reason, rather than specifically this one, but the possibility/hope that it would makes the alternative hypothesis salient.)
It’s not clear from the UI if “hide top posts” would only affect how you see your own userpage, or also how others see your userpage.

It’s how it effects all pages, but good to know that it wasn’t clear.
