YouTube is experimenting with red, blue, and green video feeds

YouTube is currently experimenting with a new feature that enables users to filter videos on their home feed based on colour preferences, aiming to enhance the browsing experience. Initial reports from 9to5Google and discussions on Lemmy have unveiled this novel functionality. Select users on Android and iOS mobile devices have encountered a prompt within the YouTube app, inviting them to customize their video feed by selecting from various hues like red, blue, or green. However, this feature remains in the experimental phase and has not been widely rolled out. Upon selecting a colour filter, users observe colour-coordinated results as a new feed option atop the YouTube app interface, though the precise filtering mechanism remains opaque. While primarily serving as an aesthetic enhancement, akin to colour coordination techniques in marketing strategies, there's speculation about its potential role in data collection to understand user behaviour and preferences.
