    Should be opt-in, it’s a dumb feature nobody asked for.

      Yeah, I don’t care for this feature but I’m not going to get wound up by something that I can switch off in about three presses.

  It’s so distracting that I didn’t notice it before this post made me go look for it.

    I’ve been watching YouTube all day on my Android phone and I do kinda subconsciously recall seeing some sorta glow. Now I’m going to go look for it consciously.

  When it was first rolled out I thought there was an issue with my graphics card drivers, but I honestly really like it now

  I don’t mind it. Removing the dislike button was more on an issue for me

  I actually kinda like ambient mode when watching on my phone

    I also like it. I find it immersive instead of distracting.

  The irony of complaining about distracting features that nobody asked for in an article on a site that pops up a video player over the text…
