It is not, there are actual colour categories at the top of the page which allow you to filter by thumbnails. This is what the Red page looks like for me:

I'm really disappointed, was expecting all red videos to be those cringey red arrows pointing at irrelevant things.

Does that come with app update? I still have normal categories up there:

Google AB tests every tiny detail so you might not see it.

I have 19.03.35 Revanced; may be a regional trial?

I have the official unmodded YouTube app v. 18.46.41.

Anyway, it would probably show up since it's not a client-side thing. Could be a regional thing. Or just random testing.

Why do you have the official app? I can never go back to normal youtube with all the in your face ads. Soon I'll stop using pixel phones if Google doesn't stop forcing me to buy google drive/photos subscription.

I saw it yesterday and thought I had brain damage for a minute.

You interacted with it, which means some ux designer somewhere is going to see the metrics and get encouraged
