Feature description

I would like to remove likes, view count, currently watching, dates and all other viewer metrics, similar to the existing "hide comments" switch in settings.

Why do you want this feature?

helps the content to be viewed with less prejudice

Additional information

Switch button would be preferable, but if just hiding the numbers would be easier, could you provide the code files locations for the relevant changes. Many thanks.

There's a separate issue for likes. There's no such thing as 'currently watching'. And what would be the point of removing the upload date?

@opusforlife2 Didn't find seperate issue for likes. By currently watching I mean watching. Are all these things that hard to change? Isn't it just finding a few lines and setting the field to hidden? Maybe you could send the code file links so I can clone this and change it myself? Thank you.
