As I say with music: "Every moment has its music and every music has its moment", I like both modes, each one in its concrete situation.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I do not like dark mode because I can't focus, I have no explanation for that. It makes me dumber.

Maybe it stimulates your circadian rhythm to a "sleeping" pattern.

What is dark mode?

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

I prefer light grey text rather than pure white and (very) dark gray rather than black. I am slightly photosensitive and prone to sensory overload, I found that mild lighting and mild contrast help me a lot.

I like dark mode because it matches my mood.

I like dark mode because I get migraines and the light sensitivity is brutal.

I don't like dark mode as it's too dark, and I'm afraid of it.
|
|
|
|
|
I use dark-mode because I'm a tight-arse and the battery lasts longer, even though I prefer the aesthetic of light-mode.
|
|

Is that really the case? I mean, no matter the amount of bright or dark colors being displayed, the backlight is still on just the same...
[Edit]
I wasn't thinking about OLED, where each pixel emits its own light.
|
|
|
|
|
Yup, the edit nails it.
For LCD, light-mode uses less energy.
|
|
|
|
|
Don't you mean OLED? Based on my (quick) readup, OLED is the one that has the individual pixels emitting their own light. Whereas it's LCD that has an "always-on" backlight.
|
|
|
|
|
Nope.
A low energy image displayed on an OLED is black, since none of the (light-emitting) pixels are emitting light.
A low energy image displayed on an LCD is white, since none of the (light-stopping) shutters are powered. The backlight is a given cost, but to get a dark pixel requires that we polarize the light from the backlight such that it cannot pass through the display.
On the types of displays found on old watches, calculators etc, the segments appear black because the segment is powered and the light from the environment cannot pass through the display to then reflect on the back of it and return to our eyes.
Colour LCDs have a Red, a Green and a Blue channel (passive) filter for each pixel as well as a(n active) shutter for each of the channels. So a fully red image uses as much power as a fully green image or a fully blue image.
You can get higher contrast ratios on OLEDs because there's less bleed-through from adjacent pixels and because emitting no light works better than turning an LCD shutter on.
I don't know if OLEDs are similar to regular LEDs, in which similar brightness for different colours requires a different amount of power. Blue LEDs for instance, are considerably brighter for a given wattage than red ones.
As an interesting side-note, LEDs can be used to detect light!

Interesting. Thanks for the refresher. I did read about that when OLED was still new, but forgot most of the actual implementation.

I like dark mode because it matches the dark circles under my eyes.

I dislike dark mode because it reminds me of the old Amber screens.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I hadn't thought about those in a long, long time.
I've used both green and amber screens. Between the two, I thought amber was much better.
I remember one of the secretaries working at my high school hired me to help her out with some word processing (I was a fast typist, a stickler for accuracy, knew my way around WordPerfect and was proficient enough to correct her own grammatical errors), and she had one of those amber monitors. Provided I adjusted the brightness so the individual letters wouldn't "bleed", I thought it was rather pleasant to work with.
And she paid quite well. I don't remember exactly the amount, but she paid me per page, and she almost regretted giving me the job 'cuz I "cost her a lot". On the other hand, she got her work done in no time, and being paid by the page, it really didn't matter I how fast I was, it would've ended up costing her the same. Win-win.

I like light mode because I'm not very strong.

I like dark mode on my phone as it makes the screen crisper. I dislike dark mode on my computer as it makes the colors weird.

You know, I just realized I never went looking for dark mode on my phone.
Turns out if I search for "dark" under Settings, only the messaging app supports it. And I actually kinda like it...but everything else remains on a white background.
This is on Android 9. I'm guessing newer versions (and recent iPhones) have better support for it.

My wife is having troubles with her battery usage and dark mode improved her battery life by about 20%. Not bad.

I dislike dark mode because there is enough darkness in this world without my adding to it.
