What is Facebook Demetricator?

Summary

Analyze keywords

Facebook Demetricator is a Chrome extension that hides all the metrics on Facebook.

What are these metrics that it removes? The Facebook interface is filled with numbers.These numbers, or metrics, measure and present our social value and activity, enumerating friends, likes, comments, and more. Your friend count, the number of likes under a photo, how many messages you have waiting, etc...these are all Facebook metrics.

Facebook Demetricator allows you to hide (and show) these metrics. No longer is the focus on how many friends you have or on how much they like your status, but on who they are and what they said. Friend counts disappear. '16 people like this' becomes 'people like this'.

Through changes like these, Demetricator invites you to try the system without the numbers, to see how your experience is changed by their absence. Thus, with this extension I aim to disrupt the prescribed sociality these metrics produce, enabling a network society that isn't dependent on quantification.

So there's a couple of small things this doesn't remove, but I like the idea of removing the mathematical part of social comparison which finds place on facebook everyday.

I would highly recommend the creator's website for his other projects!
