That seems not at all helpful in any way I can think of. Even high I cannot imagine a scenario where I would say ’ I am only watching Teal’.

Those nature videos as backgrounds in a room with a strong color scheme?

Except I wouldn’t even sort of trust them not to veer into some jackass ranting about something stupid.

With all the absurd turns YouTube and Google have taken, I’ve been looking at this for five minutes trying to figure out if this is a shitpost

It is not, there are actual colour categories at the top of the page which allow you to filter by thumbnails. This is what the Red page looks like for me:

In my defence I use Revanced and not Newpipe only because I like to have my subscriptions and watchlist synced up between devices

I’m really disappointed, was expecting all red videos to be those cringey red arrows pointing at irrelevant things.

Does that come with app update? I still have normal categories up there:

You interacted with it, which means some ux designer somewhere is going to see the metrics and get encouraged

Nope, I’ve seen it myself. Cannot imagine a more useless feature.

Sounds like a new and inventive way for them to push sponsored content on you but make it seem like you had some choice in the matter

I’m sure they’ll also share their information with “content creators” so they can all start using the most popular colors and the site can become even more generic and samey

@LinkOpensChest_wav That is actually why. I’ve heard creators talk about how YouTube is rolling this new feature now, it gives you the options to add different thumbnails with different colors to target different audience, and see which one performs the best.

I wish there were an add-on to hide all monetized channels from my feed.
