What it does
Hide likes and other vanity metrics for a more authentic online experience
Hide likes and other vanity metrics for a more authentic online experience.
The number of likes, followers, views, etc. someone has strongly influences how we perceive them. Lots of likes? Oh, they must be important/successful/cool. Few likes? Maybe not so much. We end up evaluating people based on popularity rather than substance. As a result, we become sensitive to these metrics when we express ourselves online. Sharing our thoughts and lives on social media takes on a performative element that encourages us to care too much about what other people think. By hiding your own likes and followers, you can focus on sharing yourself authentically rather than getting external validation. By hiding others' likes and followers, you can avoid comparing yourself to others…from hidelikes.com
