  • 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.

The day I have so little will to get off my ass that I need to hit a button made by youtube to force feed me random entertainment is the day someone needs to forcibly take my internet connection away from me.
