X is currently testing the removal of like, comment, and repost buttons, along with their counts, from replies to posts. The view count would be removed from reply posts as well.
This change to X has not yet been released, but was discovered in code of the most recent X app, X for iOS v10.53, by X user /@aaronp613
what's the point if you can then see all that's removed if you click a post... Or is that the point then a post will be marked as "seen" & "interacted" with for stats/engagements
