> I think your experience with migraines can hardly inform a typical person's experience with blue-light filters

I would guess it's the opposite--because I'm extremely sensitive to light in general, I'd think if blue-light filters were effective, they'd be even more effective on me, which they aren't.

> Also, flux is aimed at sleep regulation

People seem to equate "less blue light" with "better" and yet when I make my screen dark orange/red, it does nothing.

Also note that I said something like Flux.

Last but not least, my glasses also have blue-light filter in them. So I'm reducing blue light with both HW and SW and it has very minuscule effect on me, personally.

Of course, it's anecdotal experience and nothing more. But I get an eye twitch when I see stuff like "blue filter is a game changer". Sounds like placebo to me.
