Hides all the metrics on Twitter.

The Twitter interface is filled with numbers. These numbers, or metrics, measure and present our social value and activity online, enumerating followers, likes, retweets, and more. But what are the effects of these numbers on who we follow, what we post, or how we feel when we use the site? Inviting us to consider these questions through our own experience, Twitter Demetricator is a web browser extension that hides the metrics. Follower, like, and notification counts disappear. “29.2K Tweets” under a trending hashtag becomes, simply, “Tweets”. Through changes like these, Demetricator lets us try out Twitter without the numbers, to see what happens when we can no longer judge ourselves and others in metric terms. With this artwork, I aim to disrupt our obsession with social media metrics, to reveal how they guide our behavior, and to ask who most benefits from a system that quantifies our public interactions online.

Works with https://twitter.com and https://tweetdeck.twitter.com.

100% support for many language versions of Twitter, including English, English (UK), German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Norwegian, Hungarian, and Sweedish; near full support for many other languages.

Jay Kozatt 2022-05-12 Lately my own self-esteem has taken a massive hit due to these awful metrics. This extension is a breath of fresh air for me. It feels so comforting to no longer be a slave to the numbers, so that I can soon enough begin my recovery. Thank you so much, Grosser. I don't think it's an understatement to say that his work has probably saved my life.
FELICIA CHANDRA - 2022-02-05 omg!! I've just tried it today and I'm amazed. I'm constantly battling with social anxiety from using social media especially when it comes to the followers count. I really don't want to see that and it seems like that number controls my anxiety, I hate it so much! But after I tried this extension, all of that numbers were gone, my anxiety went down a lot! thank you!! It would be great if in the future there's an option to toggle people you are mutually following each other (since they're my friends and I don't want to ignore them because I don't know if they're replying to my comment or not on my TL) But overall this is an amazing extension!!
Anh 2022-02-05 Love this extension! I would love to be able to see comment numbers however- I use twitter mostly for community engagement, and it's hard to engage in conversations if I have no clue if they're being had!
Kyle Liu 2021-12-09 I found the twitters numbers are too addictive! I found myself constantly checking the follower numbers for increase or decrease. I felt bad if I see people quit following. Felt good if I saw more people followed. This has affect on the brain dopamine reward circuit. This can't be good. This plugin instantly hide all the metrics without setting after installation. Now, I feel peace. Thank you!
Komma 2021-08-18 It works like it intended to do. And (as a content creator) I can't use twitter without this extension. Indispensable. Thank you very much for my sanity.
