Reviews & Comments of Twitter Demetricator chrome extension

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.

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.

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!

Helps me not worry so much about numbers

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.

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.

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!!

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. This plugin instantly hide all the metrics without setting after installation. Now, I feel peace. Thank you!

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.

Great extension, would love to see it for Reddit and YouTube as well.

This is incredible for my mental health. I do wish There was an option to show reply count, however. I do want to engage with my followers. So I'd like to see how many replies a post has. I just don't want to see likes, RTs, and especially, how many followers I have. If you could make it so replies could be toggled on, it would be perfect. I am grateful for the extension all the same!

I know this is perhaps kind of "defeating the point" but I still would really prefer to see mine, via whitelist. I've been needing to hide everyone else's metrics for a long time so this is a lifesaver. Being able to toggle mine and only mine on or off would be even better. I'm also planning on sending this to some of my friends who are hyper active on Twitter as well. ^u^

Really like the idea with this extension. My only issue with it is that when I hover over a post, it still ends up showing me the metrics of that post. If I'm not moused over it, the numbers are hidden but as soon as I mouse of it, they come back

Does what it says on the tin.

Great extension to help with insecurity and anxiety caused by social media, would reccomend. However, it could use soe ore items like hiding replies, hiding the date of the tweet once expanded (when viewing it on a timeline, it hides the time at the top right, but when expanded you still see the date posted). And possible the ability to hide related tweets section too. d(-_☆)

Just installed this and I'm already so happy. As an artist, I absolutely struggle with critically analyzing the amount of engagement I get and compare it to others around me. I'm ecstatic to have these numbers hidden from me so I can focus less on others and moreso on myself and feeling better about the works I put out. Truly- thank you so much.

i love this extension! i was getting really sick of twitter when i realized i had started getting obsessed with the numbers on my art and other posts. it's just not a healthy way to live lol glad i found this and it works like a charm

*EDIT* it looks like it has stopped completely working as of a few days ago. There are several instances where I can still see the twitter metrics now. It'd be nice to do an update, but I'm not sure where the update would need to happen. I entirely rely on this extension to use Twitter. I consider Twitter's methods to be psychological warfare, exploiting our obsession with numbers and being the best. I started using this extension 2 years ago and it's helped me so much at uncoupling my sense of self worth with the scores my art and animations get. Now all I care about are the comments. My sense of how something does now is only vague, like "Oh this got a lot of comments" or "this didn't get as many" and this is often not indicative of the actual score. I've gotten tons of connections and opportunities without having to obsess about metrics. I seriously fear the time when this extension stops working. It's so blissful using Twitter without worrying about how I stack up. I'm doing fine.

Doesn't work anymore, now shows that everyone has a like, retweet, and comment. (the little dots)

Thank you. Exactly what I needed to be able to use the platform without having a spiralling meltdown.

doesn't work, doesn't actually ask for permission for changing site data, but for reading browser history instead obvious spyware

Awesome. I used to hate see my twitter info all time I do tweeting. This one helps me a lot.

Exactly what the other user said below—this extension works beautifully and instantly, but I also wish that timestamps weren't removed from posts.

So glad this exists! I've been hesitant to try twitter for years, weary of the effects it might have on me socially. I simply was unwilling to give over the time and energy I imagined I might give to something so well designed to tap into my ego. Having discovered this, I'm finally willing to give Twitter a shot. Thank you! This is one I'll share with my friends. P.S. My only gripe, also mentioned by another reviewer, is that this extension (the Facebook one as well) lacks the ability to choose which metrics are hidden (I especially would like to be able to see the timestamps sometimes). That said, I understand the circumstances around this extension's development. If the user base ever reaches a point where monetary incentive from the community allows further development of Ben's extensions, I hope he knows I'd be a happy paying customer.

Works great. Creates a very different, more calm and mindful twitter experience. It even encourages me to interact and post *more* since I'm less aware of and concerned with my metrics being low in comparison with those of others. I'm recommending this to friends.

this is really what i needed but it would be nice if the tweet's posted time wasn't hidden.
