Extension summary

Spoiler alert: hitting refresh on your youtube metrics won't supercharge your channel growth.

But it will start to affect what content you create...and how much you enjoy doing it.

That’s why we created Goodbye Metrics. It's a Chrome extension that hides key metrics on YouTube, because we think you should be the one who decides what content you're going to make.

Not that guy Frank who leaves a mean comment on every video. Not the mysterious YouTube algorithm. And not popular creators in your niche.

With this extension installed, you can toggle your stats on and off. Block everything, or just get rid of the ones that nag at you the most. The choice is yours.

SO WHAT CAN I HIDE?

You still see the views when you open a playlist. They should add to hide how many videos you have uploaded on your homepage channel. And they should change that logo. It hides the channel's name when you hide the views count.
