Seriously, Nestle? There’s no way this makes any real difference

The majority of the research out there does not support dark mode being better for your eyes. Generally, you only experience additional eye strain from a screen when the brightness of the screen is different from surrounding light conditions. So if you want to reduce strain, use brighter screens in bright daylight and dimmer screens in a dark room.
However, the research also indicates that it is easier for most people to focus on text when it is dark text on a light background. This is especially true for people with astigmatism (about 1/3 of Americans).
So, kindly leave your default dark mode off my sites. Thanks.
But the first comment was in all caps, so I don't know who to believe
Or people should have an option.
True. Updated the last sentence of my comment slightly. I suspect most people who use the Internet are not basement dwelling trolls and therefore probably are typically in brighter surroundings.
I love dark mode, but this is right.
Loved the old amber screen VT220 terminals.
Amber on dark grey inactive phosphor (or dark amber depending on how you fiddled with the brightness).
I wonder how much OLED and "true black" displays have contributed to eye strain in recent times. Bright text and absolute black display might be good for vision/clarity but is it good for long term use?
It must be great to be young and think your eyes are healthy and good. Just wait till you get older and you will fucking beg for dark mode everywhere.
Why do kids even bother arguing against people with a lifetime of fucking experience? I've used a computer since your mama was a little child and worked with them professionally longer than you've been alive. Your fake "research" is your eyes not sucking yet because you're young.
