It doesn’t change the color of your UI. It only shows you videos in your Home feed whose thumbnails are that color.

For the most part yes, but yellow videos often end up in green and Red at the same time

I’m going to generalise here but I have a strong suspicion I know the type of person/people who came up with this ‘brilliant’ idea.

Im guessing their homes and Stanley cups probably feature a pastel aesthetic.

It just sends you to filters at the top for the color, there are tons of others already there that you can use to find new stuff, including a „new to me“ one that will only show things you actually haven’t seen before.

But why would sorting by color solve that for me?

This feels more like an interesting solo hack together project on GitHub that one can take lessons from than an enterprise solution to any sort of issue or feature request.

Personally, I’ve never clicked on a video because I saw it on the homepage. When I open the site, I already know what kind of video I want to see and go immediately to search. Homepage recommendations have never been of use for me.

It literally just filters by colors in the thumbnail

wouldn’t the optimal way to deal with that just be a button that shows you progressively more different content the more you click it?

why would showing me green videos somehow be particularly helpful?
