Saves your battery. Easy on eyes. Dark theme is just nicer, what am I missing?

    Pretty much anytime I have to read some white or light grey text on a dark background it is punishing on my eyes and I end up with light-lines in my vision temporarily after. I’ve given up on entire websites because they only have a dark theme and the simplified read mode doesnt work. On occasion, when I really needed to read a lot of text from somewhere I will copy and paste into a word processor. Light mode, or anything with dark text on light background, doesn’t strain my eyes nearly so much.

    All of the above. Plus, it’s a little more aesthetic (most times), easier on my eyes since I wear glasses.

    Light mode works for some things, but most of the time dark mode is the way to go.

    What a backwards question. The world is light. Text is normally black or blue on white. There are no good reasons to turn your online experience into a dive into a well of darkness where you have to squint and strain your eyes to see the text.
