YouTube to Remove Trending Page After 10 Years

YouTube is officially shutting down its long-running “Trending” video page, marking the end of an era for the video-sharing platform.

The company announced the change this week, explaining that the feature is no longer as popular as it once was. According to YouTube, viewer habits have shifted toward using personalized recommendations and category-specific video feeds rather than relying on the “Trending” section.

The phase-out process is set to take place over the next couple of weeks. Once complete, users will be directed toward curated content areas, including topics like music, gaming, and news, all powered by YouTube’s algorithm-based recommendations.

The “Trending” page had been a fixture on the platform for over 10 years, offering users a snapshot of the day’s most-watched and talked-about videos. Its removal reflects how online video discovery has evolved alongside changing viewer preferences.
