Also, I wonder how that works if you’re colorblind?

This was probably a joke but I can actually answer that for you.

First of all, afaik there is no scientific consensus that people see the colours the same way. In fact, we most likely don't. The visual colour interpretation is mostly likely merely added on by our brains basing on the knowledge of wavelengths. In other words, there is no such thing as "absolute blue". There is "a blue" which is the colour each one of us' brains was taught to call blue by simply showing the sky. If I were to look through your brain (but not through your eyes, eyes understand wavelengths), we would probably disagree on each and every colour.

Second of all, there are different kinds of colour blindness. It is in fact an umbrella term for different disabilities. My understanding is that they usually involve a spectrum between two hues. So most colourblind will simply be unable to tell a difference between objects of two colours: for example red and green. They see them as slightly different versions of the same colour. However it would be wrong to say that the person in question sees red as green or vice versa, because, again, there are no "absolute colours". Their eyes cannot distinguish between these two ranges of wavelengths and the brain interprets them as the same colour.

And finally, colourblind people, when diagnosed, are fully aware of being colourblind, and furthermore, they DO NOT see in black and white. Even if a person cannot distinguish red and orange, then they still are aware there is a difference that most people around can tell and that there are concepts and feelings associated with them.

What I am trying to say is that a colour-blind person would probably still be able to, for example, associate "red" videos with action and blood, and "green" ones with nature and calmness, even though this distinction is not palpable to them.

Either way, this filtering with thumbnail colour is fucking stupid.

This is on Revanced, lol. Not sure there is a plugin to remove that yet

If fruit trees count then around 50, why?

They removed it recently, probably someone called them out on it. And again, searches have nothing to do with funding the tree-planting, it's clicking on ads

I have 19.03.35 Revanced; may be a regional trial?

In my defence I use Revanced and not Newpipe only because I like to have my subscriptions and watchlist synced up between devices

😊 i'm one of the very favourite people

This is the Red filtering:

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:

Qwant?

It is a scam if you make claims that "every search plants a tree"

they are not "clear about that". I can see they removed it now but for the longest time the main page had a banner saying "every search plants a tree" and also an actual counter which went up by one every time you made a search -- which was misleading, because it wasn't every "search", because you would have to click on an ad, and it wasn't "every", because it took several clicks on an ad to actually contribute an equivalent of a tree

their own blog

clicks on ads

This is a necessary reminder that Ecosia is a scam:

• they don't "plant trees" but rather contribute very little amounts to existing programmes
• "Every search plants a tree" is a lie. It's not every search, but rather every couple clicks on an ad
• They use Bing results making them useless

If you're using Ecosia with an adblocker or knowingly skip over sponsored results then you are NOT in any way contributing to the tree-planting

100% agree

I don't?

you get a paycheck and pension? :D

My father lasted a year in retirement, after which he got so bored he went back to his last job as a "consultant" to his successor, effectively continuing what he had been doing in the previous ten or so years, except only visiting the office when he felt like it.

I don't recall him ever enjoying this job at all, but it seems sitting around with a sole purpose of waiting to die is even less fun

doesn't happen to me either but I was only suggesting what this bug looks like
