Elon Musk Considers Removing Like and Repost Metrics from X, Making Twitter Boring

Elon Musk announced plans to remove like, retweet, and favorite counts from the main feed of Twitter, now called X, in a future design change, aiming to make the feed "cleaner." This move has sparked criticism from users who argue that it will make engagement fall on the platform and make it harder to gauge popular posts. Some users also pointed out that this change will make it difficult to identify trending topics and conversations. The decision has raised questions about the impact on user experience and the lack of a clear business case for removing these metrics.
