After listening to Lex Friedman describe how he hides view counts and likes from YouTube, I thought it an interesting experiment to try out.

I had noticed that I base the choice video on the number of views and the date released. To my surprise, disabling these features emphasized the content rather than the numbers (duh), which made YouTube more interesting. I naturally turned it into a Firefox extensions after mocking about with Tampermonkey.

I'm curious to know how you guys experience this change to YouTube :D
