It probably won’t be useful and I don’t really think it’ll matter if it is; but it probably will be fun for a bit. I just checked and it still hasn’t propagated to me, but knowing the types of videos I’m watching I can imagine somewhat how it will filter through the home page and present them under the umbrella of “Red”, “Green” and “Blue”. I want to see that I’m right, but since the most common type of video I play on YouTube since I leave it on in the background is “music” and I can somewhat see where the genres will line up. I’m guessing a lot of phonk music videos will rise to the top of “red” and maybe ones I’ve never seen before.
But… if it’s useful to anybody, it will probably be by drawing attention to that top bar you have to scroll through according to the article which applies different filters to your home page according to video type, genre or media type.
I’m looking at mine and I’m seeing “music”, “mixes” which are at the front and the most regularly used by me. There’s different games, or other topics, there’s “Live” and “soundtracks”, “Podcasts” which I don’t use and so is usually at the end, and way at the end right now is “Recently Uploaded” and “New to you”. I know about all of this, but how many people have no idea any of that is there? Well, some of them might pick up on it if they hear about the color filter thing and play with that. Mostly I think it will just be fun and maybe a bit of a meme.
