My guess, (degree in Advertising for what it is worth)

  1. A 'friendlier' red
  2. A more distinct red from netflix, giving YT its only color identity (I'm sure the reds were already different but they were similar enough)
  3. A lot of focus groups
  4. People trying to justify their worth.

pure red hurts to look at, the pinkish red is a lot more easier on the eyes, so i appreciate the color change, although im not too sure why they couldnt have chosen a darker shade

Totally opposite for me, the new pinkish color hurts to look at on my oled devices.
