To reproduce:

Change your browser's user agent to a mobile Safari version, e.g.:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 13_5_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.1.1 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1

Go to https://m.youtube.com, and confirm the URL stays at that subdomain instead of redirecting to https://www.youtube.com.

There should be a shorts section visible before this change on the home feed, which is hidden after it is applied.
