In an effort to combat spam on the YouTube platform, YouTube has now announced a small update - stating that links shared in the description section on YouTube Shorts can no longer be clicked effective August 31, 2023.
This new update will be introduced in stages. In addition to the description section, links shared in the comments section on YouTube Shorts are also not clickable after that date.
This is in an effort to prevent users from clicking on malicious links and spam, while ensuring that the YouTube platform remains safe. YouTube is also expected to introduce a feature to easily link full YouTube videos to YouTube Shorts by the end of September.
