[OPINION] The future of social media without likes, follower count and other metrics.

Hi everyone!
I am currently in state of validating the idea of a social media without likes, followers count and other vanity metrics. I believe those vanity metrics can be stressful for some people, might also affect their mental health. Current model is full of gamification, it's a race to earn most likes and followers giving us dopamine hit that makes us addicted. Some people even fake their life just for the sake of number. I thought we can do better.
Removing vanity metrics could be the solution. Yes, brands and other businesses that use social media need analytics but for normal users? I don't think so. Social media should be the place where they can share anything and anywhere they want without the fear of being validated by numbers. A free space where they can be them self, an authentic social media.
That's my pitch, what do you think?
