So I switched to a pixel 7 from an iphone 10 xs a few months back, and I've absolutely loved it in comparison to the locked down nature of an iphone. So I think to look up material you on YouTube for fun, and decide to read the comments and found that people hated it. Quick googling led to me to find two reddit threads and an article talking about how much they hated it. Personally, I don't understand the hate, as you can simply choose to have the color be a dullish blue manually.

Idk, it might just be that I haven't been using android long to care about the fact that material you is being forced.

I personally can't stand ultra minimalists UIs anymore. I want to go back to iOS6 or Windows Aero like designs.

As a mostly oled black person, I don't like material you aesthetic because of how not minimalistic it is. Different tastes I suppose
