I must have some condition (other than old age) but I cannot look at dark-themes for more than a few seconds before my eyes start hurting. I switch it to a light theme wherever possible.

Yet, I know of the popularity of dark themes. But I wonder if I'm the only one or whether there are more people that experience the same effect?

I think it gets worse when I have to switch between mostly-dark content to mostly-light content. Thus, since most pages on the web have (near-) white background, I imagine I would really suffer when switching to and from HN a lot if it were in dark mode.

But hey, maybe that would be a good thing for my productivity ;-)
