Color is so stupid. Who the fuck cares what color the video is. Couldve used this to actual good like pick three minor subjects from the video and ask me if im interested in more of those. That would be awesome. And I know they have that data.

Black History Month

Separating videos based off of color.

Never change Google.

Even easier, pick video lengths.

<1min, 1-10min, 10-30min, 30-60min, 60min+.

I'd use that all the time.

They used to have that as a filter. Although for a long while you could pick short (<4 mins) or long (>20 mins) but not medium length videos.

This, too, was a sign they had no fucking idea what they were doing.

This reminds of how Xiaomi introduced sorting by colours of the app icon in their launcher. But that was different and I believe actually helped getting around

At least that would make for an aesthetically pleasing gradient for some people. Sorting videos by color makes no damn sense. I'm not in an orange sort of mood lmao

I don't understand what that even means, most videos on are predominantly blue and green if they're outside, and basically white if they're inside.

The only videos that will be red or purple are music videos.

I have sorted the icons on my quicklaunch bar (on my desktop PC) by color. Those typically aren't sorted in any particular order so putting them by color was something visually interesting to do. Their titles aren't displayed here, it's just the icons, and there's 12 of them, so actually it does help guide my eye, if I know I'm looking for, the Blender logo my eye tends toward orange.
