we’re making updates to better match how people discover trending content today by shifting away from one all-encompassing Trending list towards category-specific charts that we’ll continue to invest in over time.
The trending page stopped being worth looking at once it shifted away from actual trending content. That content was replaced with ad friendly corporate videos like Kimmel and family vloggers you’ve never heard of.
Could that be the first actual improvement in years?
I’m sure they’re gonna replace it with something even more asinine but my god, the trending page was always just a cesspool of the absolute worst content on YouTube (with a few exceptions every now and then).
I spend hours on YouTube every single day and I have no clue what a “trending page” is.
I’m not sure how you can be so invested in YouTube and not at least be aware of trending. Have I ever looked at it? Not intentionally. Am I aware of it? Yeah.
When I open YouTube it gives me an edless feed of recommendations tailored to me. I don’t care what other people are watching. If there’s a tab with the title “trending” I’ve probably just never clicked it. I’m not even tempted to go see.
I worked at YouTube and use it constantly. I knew about it. But I just never used it. Because it was always garbage.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
they doing that to stop all the scrapers like newpipe from “working”.
shit is hilarious.
fuck you Google.
Oh no! All those pages i block by turning my youtube history off!
Good. Can my Watch Later list please be the most important item I see when I go there?
Get rid of Shorts.
Shorts are annoying, but now they started cluttering the subscription page with community posts.
It’s bad, but especially when you browse in landscape Mode on a phone. They get blown up so big you have to scroll like 3 pages for one post, and there’s a lot of them.
And they will stay on your page forever and wont go away. No option to click them away at all.
Hell yeah! It’s way too hot even for those.
Use browser plug-ins and revanced.
They might, once it becomes too flooded with AI slop.
It’s too hot for that and I don’t think Google should control what people wear.
I keep hiding shorts but it keeps coming back like herpes
Revanced if you’re on Android
I do the range to those fucking YouTube game things. Stupid things
Same. I actually truly hate seeing the games pop up, so ugly and generic looking
But Algospeak
Shorts (as a format) aren’t the problem, it’s what you watch. If you train the algorithm to serve you garbage, then of course it’s gonna serve you garbage ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I literally never watch shorts. I’ve selected the option to show less shorts on my computer, I select the not interested option on each individual video on my TV when the row of them shows up, and they still constantly come back.

Ahh yes, the brainrot feed.
I’ve never used that feature…
Yeah, cover your shame.
Logged out YouTube was covered up a few years ago.
Does this mean I will have to scroll even more if I want to go to a specific channel I am subscribed to? All i want on the left is History and the list of channels I am subscribed to.
