• YouTube is testing a new video button on its app, allowing users to easily access random Shorts content based on their suggestions.
  • Additional features of this play button are currently unknown, but it is likely to pull content based on watch history, subscribed creators, and video likes.
  • The feature is being tested with a limited number of people and does not appear to be part of an official YouTube experiment.

    their search function also returns primarily random, unrelated videos… I think they just don’t like people deciding what they look at

      They can control your watch time better if you make less decisions. Just be a good little brainless consumer and scroll through endless amounts of bullshit instead of specifically finding one video, then doing something else.

      It started with autoplay, wormed it’s way into search feature, and now it’s all over home and subscriptions.
