I have photophobia (and photosensitivity!) so dark mode is the only tolerable way to look at things for me.

Since dark mode has become a lot more prevalent/accessibile there's been a notable reduction in headaches/migraines for me, especially in conjunction with 'night light' settings, and an anti-glare glasses coating.

Here to agree. I use dark thème when it gets to night. Shifting automatically for sunrise and sunset, but when reading long strings of text. That’s a no-go, I have to shift into light mode for that exact same reason

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.

I just find light themes disgusting looking. But that's just personal preference

Dark mode helps minimizing any eye strain, plus its cool af.

I recently switched to dark theme depending on the time and I would say the reason not to use dark themes entirely is you don't get the contrasts you can get with light themes, setting the mood and I guess 'theme'.
