> Dark mode blocks most light, so dark mode does reduce exposure to blue light.

This is completely false and the very raison d’être for developing OLED (plasma had this for TVs but the power consumption was ludicrous). See my sibling comment.

completely false?

I can see how it is marginally false, say with a blue-themed dark mode.

Or maybe marginally false, with a cheap LED screen with a terrible contrast ratio.

Or completely not-false, with a non-blue-themed OLED dark mode.

Or mostly non-false possibly with local dimming.

but calling it completely false is completely psuedodoxical.
