Social media platforms, including Twitter, have recently implemented changes to hide like counts on posts. This shift has sparked varied reactions among users. Some users report feeling more liberated and engaging more with content, as the absence of public metrics reduces pressure. Others, however, express frustration, arguing that hidden likes diminish the platform's interactive dynamics.
