Because they want you to watch shorts. They know that people who watch shorts are the most brainrotted on the platform, and the ones who will keep scrolling and watching video after video, and seeing ad after ad, and those are the users YouTube wants all other users to be like.
And so they will push shorts in your face again and again no matter how much you say no, because they think eventually they’ll break you.
The close button is just a temporary placebo to make it feel like you’re the one in control.
You’re not the one in control.
