However, this isn’t the initial sighting of such a feature. In May, a Reddit user had already mentioned coming across this button, indicating that YouTube has been experimenting with it for some time. Another black button in the lower right corner of the feed will serve the same function.

As previously mentioned, these buttons aim to assist you in selecting a video when you’re having difficulty making a choice. It’s highly likely that both of these randomize buttons are undergoing testing concurrently, despite appearing at different times for various users.
