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.

Aren't shorts random already? What a useless feature

I feel the same. It will probably be more random than shorts in which the algorithm decides what to give you.
