i think it’s cute

Cute or not, it's wasting money and time that could be spent on actually improving the app. YouTube constantly pushes more ads more aggressively saying they don't make profit, while wasting money in such absurd way

prove that it’s wasting money.

advertisers have long understood the relationship between color and emotion. to me it seems downright reasonable that google have discovered (or are collecting) data that increases viewership, retention, and total ad revenue 🙂
