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

    u just know some googler got promoted to management with this dogshit idea

    edit: That's how it works @google yall. Engineers craft some cool feature and get whisked away after and leave the project/feature abandoned

    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.

    update: okay I went and looked, and it is subtle and it is intermittent. The glow is there one moment, then it's not there the next moment, it comes and goes.

    Maybe the article mentioned that, I dunno, I only read half of the article before I didn't feel like reading it anymore.
