Twitter recently rolled out a feature that allows users to see a real-time measurement of engagement on their tweets. Or so that was the intension.
As with many new things on Twitter, Elon Musk has become its CEO, it was met with mixed reactions.
Now, Musk has tweeted that Twitter will "tidy up the esthetics & add a setting to turn it off, but I think everyone will grow to like it."

Some did like this feature, such as Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, who responded, "Great. Much better metric."
