A bug in the YouTube app is causing Shorts to immediately open and start playing, making for a slightly frustrating experience.

I feel like something that’s titled “and how to fix it” should tell you how to fix it.
It doesn’t.
The fix:
If you’re used to the official Android app: ReVanced installation guide
Alternatives: NewPipe (FOSS), Grayjay ($10 or unlimited free trial, source-available with OSS plugins)
Not to mention alternative services like Peertube, Odyssey etc.
I was under the impression things like ReVanced were against the rules?
An actual fix wouldn’t be a suggestion to use an entirely different application or dodgy homebrew patch anyway, that’s just silly. That’s like saying “Your car is making a weird noise? Here, drive one of these other cars instead”.
It’s like those pretentious people who gleefully come out of the woodwork to comment “tehehe you should switch to Linux” whenever someone asks a question about a Windows issue. No help whatsoever, they’re just trolling because they feel superior and want others to know it.
Linux is a good OS, by the way. I use it, but I’m not a dick about it to others :P
The fix is there in the article. Though it’s not a complete fix.
Yeah, if you watch shorts again it comes back. That’s not really a fix.
