• 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.

    As someone with my watch history off, it’ll be interesting if this button even shows.

    I have no subscriptions, no history, and no tracking of any kind enabled. If this shows a recommendation related to my watch history, that’d shine a light on what those privacy controls really do.

      If you see it you’ll have to report back!

        Is there any to get notified about comments like this without commenting?

          Not to my knowledge. Reddit had bots for that but lemmy is still getting its sea legs. I might get a notification because I posted the article but I might not too.
