First of all, it probably depends on the type of screen. Secondly, it might be because 9f the brightness settings. Thirdly, the most used apps by the person. Some apps are better in light mode and vice versa. Fourthly, it depends on the way the person’s eyes are sensitive. For some, like me, white text bleeds into dark backgrounds and that makes it harder to read, but the dark mode feel and comfort make it much less straining in the end. Another reason could be the perceived sense of elegance which is just subjective with no explanation.
This is in fact an unpopular opinion. You heathen.
Joking aside, when I was first learning HTML my teacher always hated when students inverted the colors to make a “darkmode” because she said it gave people headaches. So I guess it’s a thing.
Depending on how old you are, your vision also naturally dims as you age. This is also why stuff designed by older people is often blindingly bright to young people and vice versa. I’m willing to bet that if a survey was done it would show that the popularity of darkmode drops sharply as users age.
I might be older than you and I’ve been using dark mode since it first became available on Android. If I make it to a hundred I’ll still be rockin’ dark mode.
