How YouTube banning clickable links in Shorts will benefit users

YouTube has announced that it is making some changes regarding the links on Shorts. The Google-owned company said that in order to tackle the increasing scams and spam appearing in the short video format, it will make links related to Shorts unclickable.

It said that along with an increase in volume and speed of content being published on YouTube, the “speed and level of engagement has made it easier for spammers and scammers to share links in Shorts comments and Shorts descriptions that harm the community.”
