YouTube announced it will discontinue its Trending page and the Trending Now list, a feature introduced around 2015 that highlighted the most popular videos on the platform. This change reflects a shift in content discovery preferences, with the company moving towards category-specific charts such as music, podcasts, and trailers. YouTube stated that personalized recommendations combined with these category-based charts better capture the platform's diverse micro-trends and viewing habits. The Trending page will be phased out in the coming weeks, replaced by YouTube Charts and tailored recommendations to align with how users currently engage with content.
