So I switched to a pixel 7 from an iphone 10 xs a few months back, and I've absolutely loved it in comparison to the locked down nature of an iphone. So I think to look up material you on YouTube for fun, and decide to read the comments and found that people hated it. Quick googling led to me to find two reddit threads and an article talking about how much they hated it. Personally, I don't understand the hate, as you can simply choose to have the color be a dullish blue manually.
Idk, it might just be that I haven't been using android long to care about the fact that material you is being forced.
my bigger issue is that im not big on material 3 tbh
now if they did all the color themeing stuff on material 2 id be more into it
material 3 is way too rounded and overly simplified for my liking
AND everything feels so big and clunky which i realized after reading another comment that brought that up
yeah i dont think material you is the issue for me as much as the underlying theme with material 3
