Twitter Demetricator Extension

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.

AlsoFlick (ID: 000000fd1d9b1797) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/24/2023 Its a great extension, It has to be updated again with twitter counting how many bookmarks someone does per post now since that is now visible. As well in DMs too, the follower count is shown when you are speaking to someone in the direct messages.

Vivian Ametrix (ID: 000000c6f04a0375) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/23/2022 Does exactly what I wanted. Can we have a switch that just hides view counts while leaving the others alone, though? Likes and retweets aren't as... pervasive as the new view counter.

BlakDragon220 (ID: 00000007bcdb73e0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/23/2022 It's SO CLOSE!! It needs the update to lose the real-time view metrics that were dropped 12/22/2022! PLEASE GET ON IT!

Pip (ID: 000000898546c1de) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/08/2022 Helps me not worry so much about numbers

T (ID: 0000001715a206aa) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/02/2022 Hi, I've been using this extension for almost a year and I love it!! Though recently, it hasn't been hiding my following and followers numbers and I don't know how to fix it.
