Because who said it isn't as important as what was said? Idk just pulled that out my ass.

@M1sf3t I could always figure out whenever AlexDeLarge posted, when Sukmikehok shit posted, and when one of Jase's 294848373775937 accounts posted lol

I don't think it matters, I really like the idea that there are profiles but that's not the main thing

I haven't seen/read the reason as to why it was done but removing usernames does seem to remove the judgement and biases one would have when looking at a post from a person they know of (FB anecdotal example, me: *see Bob posted something in YRS without reading the post* Oh yet another misandrist rant...). That being said, I've seen that a numerous amount of people (namely on FB/IG) that would ignore a post the moment they see that the poster isn't in their "league" or as popular as or popular than them (I.e. elitist bias).
And it may be for the reasons @Stuxnet and @M1sf3t said.
I personally prefer it that way so it makes me more likely to click on the rant to see more details (a bit like in the YikYak days).
Why doesn’t devrant show the username for rants in the home page.
