At age 50 now, I'd prefer a Gen X mode where the font size is 125% and the text is high contrast.
Boomer mode is when there's 13 advertising popups all over your screen and autoplaying videos on full volume.

I blame Ritalin for this type of video, either someone took too much or needs to up their dosage. Visual graphix aside, it's just exhausting to listen to. Dude, take a breath, or at least allow your viewers to take one. Had to double check I didn't leave my YT player in faster than normal playback speed.
> I blame Ritalin for this type of video, either someone took too much or needs to up their dosage. Maybe I’m overly sensitive, but I’m really tired of ADHD ableist jokes like this one. With the controversy and struggles of medication for ADHD, implying that the only functional ADHD brain is a medicated one just frankly sucks.

#100I am a little surprised to see no one question the author's description or assumption of "Gen Z". As someone presumably from Gen Z, I find both interfaces either bad or terrible. The partiful design is outright tacky and looks terrible (nothing homogeneous, questionable design choices etc) but Filteroff has so much whitespace it feels like it was designed by soulless corps at Uber or Facebook who just studied from Pi…
