Twitter replaced character counts with a circle and everyone hates it
Twitter may have just upped its character limit to 280, but you wouldn't know it just by looking at its tweet composer. As part of the update, which doubled the amount of characters you can cram into a single tweet, the company replaced its character counter with a weird circle icon that changes colors as you type. And while opinions of the new character count may be mixed, Twitter users seem to be united in their hatred for the circle, which seems unnecessarily confusing as you can no longer see how many characters you've actually typed. Instead, all you see is a circle and a small blue highlight, which expands as you type more (it does switch back to a character count once you get to 20 characters remaining, though). Some speculated that Twitter may have removed the counter so as not to explicitly encourage users to hit the 280-character limit. (Twitter said in its blog post it expects tweet length to "normalize" after the initial novelty wears off. Others noted that the circle is yet another example of Twitter making a new feature no one asked for while not fixing its numerous other problems. And while it's rare that a majority of Twitter users agree on anything, it seems the new circle is easily the most hated part of the new Twitter update.Tweet may have been deleted
