Why did YouTube changed borders from pure black to #181818? Any ideas?

@nikitonsky doesn't it just add blur?

@nikitonsky on OLED screens scroll creates flickering painful fir eyes on full-black and any image border.

Using almost-dark keeps the LED active preventing flickering.

@sitnik_ru have you experienced it? I tried to reproduce it a few years ago but couldn’t. Never seen it since, too

@nikitonsky I saw flickering it on my previous Pixel on YouTube, when I scroll the list with videos

@nikitonsky This is called ambient mode. You can disable it. Agree this is nonsense
