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.

Lately my own self-esteem has taken a massive hit due to these awful metrics. |

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!! |

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! |

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. |
