Someone up-thread made mention of the stylistic changes being problematic for people with visual impairment or low vision, which would seem to me to be a much more serious issue than a stupid icon.

They made the highlight color of user and channel mentions more brighter. This hurt readability as the text is white. Making the background of the text brighter decreases contrast.
