Shorts sound page
Also called: sound page, audio pivot page
Tap the sound name at the bottom of a Short and you land on its sound page. It shows the track or the original clip, who it came from, and a feed of every Short using that audio, with a button that opens the Shorts camera with the sound already attached. For music it also points to the artist's official upload.
Creators care for two reasons. This is the machinery a trend runs on, since one popular Short sends viewers into the sound page and back out into dozens of copies. And when your own original audio gets picked up, the page credits you and links back to the Short you made it in.
