Option to always hide vote count
There are some concerns from the wider team about having the total number of votes visible to all our users. Are there any plans to allow us to hide the total number of votes, even after a user has upvoted a feature request?

While voting is a valuable source of feedback, it also presents a challenge in terms of managing expectations and maintaining control over our product roadmap. To address this challenge, I suggest implementing the possibility to hide the vote count associated with each feature request. This means that while users can still vote on features, they will not be able to see the total number of votes for each request. Instead, they will only be able to see whether they have voted for a particular feature or not.
By hiding the vote counts, we can achieve the following objectives:
Maintain Control: We retain full control over the prioritization of features and the overall product roadmap. This ensures that our decisions are aligned with our product vision and strategic goals.
Reduce Pressure: Hiding the vote counts alleviates the pressure that may arise from public visibility of the voting data. This allows us to make informed decisions without being unduly influenced by popular opinion.
Foster Collaboration: Users can continue to provide valuable input without feeling discouraged by the perceived popularity of certain feature requests. This encourages collaboration and constructive feedback from our user community.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful ideas @Tim Roeleveld, this feature makes a ton of sense. We'll discuss it internally and see when we can roll this out.
