    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:

        I don’t have the official app, so I choose to pretend this is a shitpost.

        Haha A++ shitpost

          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.

          Google AB tests every tiny detail so you might not see it.

            I have the official unmodded YouTube app v. 18.46.41.

            Anyway, it would probably show up since it’s not a client-side thing. Could be a regional thing. Or just random testing.

              Why do you have the official app? I can never go back to normal youtube with all the in your face ads. Soon I’ll stop using pixel phones if Google doesn’t stop forcing me to buy google drive/photos subscription.

        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.
