I agree, the logic is confusing. The numbers are confusing not just because they denote different counts (tags vs. filters applied), but also because despite those numbers you can very easily end up in a situation where you have zero results, and there's no number shown for that.

To that end, I don't see the value of having any number at all. I do think that the number on the button itself is meant to indicate that you've selected more than one filter. So if we have to keep that, I'd remove the count next to each tag.

I agree with @jasmussen. The confusion of mixing two logics is bigger than the need to show how many sites users will see. I'm drawn to remove the number in each tag and keep the filters selected in the button.

Fine with me, but I just want to note that this brings us back to the prior implementation that generated the original user feedback that it was confusing. So we should still keep this issue, or create another, for further explorations in the future.

Let's move forward with reverting the indicators for how many sites in each taxonomy term. We can revisit this issue post-launch. Thanks for all your work on this @renintw 🙏
