Oh, a problem Harvard failed to solve, huh? All of Harvard failed to solve your dumb difference of squares problem? Is that right? Is that what you're telling me, Click Academics? Fuck off

The only good criticism of dark mode I've ever seen was in a convention panel a guy gave about the intricacies of SMTP and MIME and how it's extraordinarily difficult to make email systems clients are happy with because email client dark modes are near impossible to detect or adapt to. But that criticism clearly came from the technological limitations of email and how that made it exceedingly difficult to work with dark mode, not the concept of dark mode itself.
The people who dislike it for simply aesthetic reasons are shitheads who don't think accessibility tools should exist. I mean I have no use for the greyscale setting on every display I own but I'm not gonna complain that it's there lol
i decided to give the video a chance (i could never turn down a nice web design hot take), and honestly? this is an awful clickbaity title for the video lmao, i came out mostly agreeing with it's argument of light vs dark mode as a competition of which is objectively better misses the point entirely and leads to inaccessible (and hence bad) design. there's an odd remark at the end on the new iOS dark mode that i'm not quite sure i 100% agree with at the end but overall the video wasn't too bad.
why you would title this video like this is beyond me though. rage bait? idk. this title is the real bad design decision here lmao
It literally is just rage bait to draw viewers, absolutely wretched
A few times I've been tempted to click on an Answer in Progress video and ended up getting annoyed with most of the video being "I was curious about this so I programmed an AI to analyze it", like I guess the channel is supposed to be about investigating things and being experimental but it didn't ever feel like an actually researched answer to a question, just, "I messed around and then did a little googling, here's my best guess about my initial question, idk"

dark mode is an accessibility tool as well. the lenses in my eyes are artificial and my iris is incomplete (looks like a cat) - bright white screens have a crazy bloom effect like a 2003 videogame. I can't read anything on a white screen since it just overwhelms my vision. dark mode makes screens actually usable for me.
