I don't understand the hate for ambient mode. I've barely noticed it exists.
I noticed immediately because I thought I had a giant smudge on my glasses. Super distracting and I always disable it.
My main issue is that it's a buggy mess. The bars will be different shades and get stuck. I have to close the app to fix it (or at least had to now that I know I can disable it)
Also, not really a big thing, but I bet it uses a little more battery than it otherwise would
Personally, I dislike it because it makes my older devices lag noticeably, so I just keep it off out of habit.
I disabled it after noticing it exists, which took a while tbh (it made some text harder to read)
Same, and when I have noticed it, I think it looks pretty nice at times. This is one of those cases of people just complaining for the sake of it.
If people want to complain about actual dumb UI changes; aim it at the new Discord mobile UI.
Some people do, some people don't. I do, and find it distracting because it's not subtle enough.
I added it myself with a plugin for using Youtube on my 21:9 monitor
