Side by side comparison. I particularly like the more compact design of custom fields.

Alright, definitely don't agree with this though.

"The ‘Following you’ badge no longer displays on the profile. People we surveyed ranked this information remarkably low in terms of establishing both trust and interest an account."

Yes, I also rated it as lower than the other signals...but that didn't mean I wanted it removed?

@stefan oh! What I can say here is, we’re still listening. And I’m listening especially hard when the community says, “wait, that’s not what I meant!”

Help me to understand how this badge serves you in ways the other indicators fall short. When do you find yourself using this information? What does it allow you to achieve?

Your feedback is appreciated – we want to get this right. If it turns out that this is essential information to display up front, we’ll certainly find a solution for it.

@imanijoy Ah, I hope my comment didn't read too harsh!

Overall the updated design is great, this just caught me by surprise a bit.

I don't pay too much attention to new follower notifications, so when I find myself interacting with someone more frequently, I might check their profile, and decide to follow back.

So it's really not that this information falls short, but on its own, it just doesn't tell me enough about a person.

@katherine_montalto @imanijoy And, at least in my case, when I view a profile of a mutual, I'd like to know they still follow me.

It's nicely reassuring.
