Hide all numbers that relate to dark patterns

1 pointsby vanillaicesquadover 2 years ago
Is there a way to hide all numbers that lead to incorrect judgment of content?<p>Number of followers, number of likes. Sometimes it&#x27;s called &quot;gamification&quot;<p>IN THIS WAY CONTENT WOULD BE NOTICED AT FIRST SIGHT, without the relevance of what other persons think of it.<p>&quot;How hard could it be? just hide all numbers in every website&quot;

I&#x27;m on LinkedIn a lot (don&#x27;t ask why) and last time I checked they had an ultra annoying animation that jiggles or bounces the &quot;reaction icons&quot; like a thumbs up etc, so that when you&#x27;re trying to read, your eye is distracted to that part of the page. It&#x27;s &quot;punch the monkey&quot; level hostile to users, but what you&#x27;d expect from that cesspool.<p>Anyway, to stop having to see it, I used ublock origin to block all the related elements, and, maybe accidentally, also ended up blocking like counts. So it&#x27;s as you say, I actually would have to look at something without caring what others think. I don&#x27;t see how you could build a universal blocker. But ublocking whatever elements are displaying the counts on sites you frequent would do it
