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 wish it had DeArrow inside the YouTube plugin like sponsorblock! I know there’s someone who made a plugin or you can use a third party app but I was hoping something official. $10 is fair, recently paid for the keyboard after they added multi-language support (was planning to pay and finally did it after this addition)
Cool projects
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.
