Good.

Please remove retweet count as well.

Maybe Twitter can become a social network without herd mentality.

And then facebook(incl. instagram) can also remove their 'reaction emojis'

Yep. It was kind of fun when they first added it, but now it is overused to the point where nearly every post has a heart sign, angry/sad face, etc. Even when there is hardly anything to love or be angry or sad about. I became so tired of it that I modified my F.B. Purity add-on to just not show them to me anymore.
If that happens, then the herd will just move on.
And nothing of any value is lost
except millions of $$$$ of revenue
