   Am I the only one irked by the subtle gradient on YouTube's progress bar which makes it looks like the monitor has red color burn-in problems?

   It looks like either an OLED that's ruined by constant use or a CRT in need of a serious degaussing. Both things send me shivers on a visceral level.

     @hisham_hm I don't understand why they felt this change was necessary.

     @Gargron I don't understand how they *kept* this change and had it deployed to computers, phones and TVs given how easy it was for me to find other people who had the same "oh no! is my monitor broken?" negative reaction as me. I'd expect YouTube's usability testing to catch this. But I guess it's not something you can infer from A/B test telemetry, you'd need user interviews for that.
