Honestly? Twitter should only make the like counter visible to yourself on your own tweets. That way you still have the satisfaction of big numbers, but people who get constantly worried about other people getting more likes than them can finally be at peace.

You shouldn't compete with others, you should compete with yourself. Hiding the like count on your tweets so only you can see it will be a good method on how to not get hurt mentally on this platform.

Don't change anything about the twitter algorithm at all, just hide the like counter. That way, "viral", tweets can still go viral.

The like counter was invented as a way to spread positivity not as a way for competition and people just don't understand that likes do not matter in the first place lol. I use this platform as a way to spread joy, not for numbers.

Ey, or even better, it can be a feature of the entirety of twitter, instead of only making your like counter visible at all times, why not add an option to just hide them all completely, that way people still see if it’s doing good, but those affected by it won’t.

Yes, numbers always put me in a bad mood, even when streaming

Literally in the same thread lol. Also trust me people who get hurt over likes can't quit social media because they're too addicted. Its not as simple as deleting social media.
