- 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.
Maybe because shorts are short and un-seekable, so more “engagement”.
What’s un-seekable
You can’t skip parts of the video or go back to a part you want to see again. You have to watch the whole thing.
