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.
I spend hours on YouTube every single day and I have no clue what a “trending page” is.
I worked at YouTube and use it constantly. I knew about it. But I just never used it. Because it was always garbage.
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’ve never used that feature…
Get rid of Shorts.
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
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
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’ve installed user scripts to replace the player with the normal one and used unlock to hide the feed in my subscriptions page. Did the same with revanced on my phone.
They’re just designed to be addictive, I wasn’t getting anything out of them.
Ahh yes, the brainrot feed.
Great, trending videos are generally completely trash
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.
