    "Dark Mode Is for Suckers...

    "The orgiastic frenzy over dark mode is, as far as I can tell, the result of the bandwagon effect: You subconsciously trick yourself into loving dark mode because hey, everyone loves dark mode! This is reinforced by a deluge of glowing media coverage...that is further amplified with every new app or operating system that adds the feature...

    ...there are some benefits to the feature. For example, if you’re using a device with an OLED display, and if the dark mode feature you’re using is truly black and not some shade of gray pretending to be black, then you can expect to get slightly better battery life...

    The other main benefit dark mode believers rave about is how much easier it is on the eyes. But this is, for most people, bulls***— the placebo of tech. As Adam Engst at TidBits explains in exhausting detail, “Except in extraordinary situations, Dark Mode is not easy on the eyes, in any way.” In fact, it may be worse...

    ...studies have also found that light mode (or whatever we’re calling it now) is better for reading comprehension...."
