I suspect it’s alsonfrantically trying to preloaded a bunch of other videos.
On my laptop, the UI is unresponsive for a solid minute until it loads several pages worth of comments and videos down the right side. It’s idiotic.
Comment on Youtube's web UX team is a joke.

I just hate the fact that when I open the youtube app, it just starts playing a random short. I have to stop the short to go to the search field which is the reason I opened the app.

I can strongly recommend not using the app, and just using a browser with ad block for YouTube mobile.
