By default, notifications on blood potions received are now opt-in, rather than opt-out. If you want to receive blood potion notifications (or have them enabled and want to disable them again), then:

Click on your avatar in the site header, then click the person icon, and select “Preferences”.

Click on “Notifications”. You’ll see the option to change when you’re notified of blood potions received.

You can now toggle whether or not you see the Blood Potion button and blood potion counts on posts via an option in your preferences.
Go to Preferences > Profile and scroll down until you see “Disable Blood Potions”.

Click to enable it, then save, and refresh (or change your theme).
Now instead of squeezing the blood from a blood slime in order to give a blood potion and perpetuating the massive slaughter of innocent monsters, you’ll just respond with a relevant quote from House Party!
Peanut, fix me some of that Dick Gregory.

I wanted to still be able to give BPs but not see the number of BPs a given post has, so I cooked up (read: mostly stole) a tampermonkey script to do just that:
// ==UserScript==
// @name SB No Numbers
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 2024-10-22
// @description removes BP numbers but leaves teh button
// @author Cania
// @match https://selectbutton.net/*
// @icon https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=selectbutton.net
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
function addGlobalStyle(css) {
var head, style;
head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
if (!head) { return; }
style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = css;
head.appendChild(style);
}
addGlobalStyle('.widget-button.btn-flat.button-count.like-count.highlight-action.regular-likes.btn-text {display: none;}');
addGlobalStyle('.widget-button.btn-flat.button-count.like-count.highlight-action.my-likes.btn-icon-text {display: none;}');
now i can continue pouring blood but get the No Numbers experience i wanted
EDIT: fixed it so that it also doesn’t show the BP button at all on your own posts, because apparently that gets grouped with the number so you gotta disable both
