YOUTUBE TESTS A ‘PLAY SOMETHING’ BUTTON FOR WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO WATCH
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
YouTube is testing a new 'play something' button on its mobile app that directs users to a random video. The feature directs users to both YouTube Shorts and full-length videos. It is unclear whether the feature takes into account users' watch histories when picking videos. YouTube has been working on the feature since at least around May.
