SRINAGAR: Popular video-sharing site YouTube, in a statement, has announced that it will be removing its “Trending” page and its “Trending Now” list from July 21.
YouTube also observed that visits to the Trending section have slowed down, which makes the decision to remove the tab easier. “The platform will continue to focus on creators by offering them the Inspiration tab in YouTube Studio, where they can stay up-to-date with the latest ideas and trending videos that they can offer through their channels,” YouTube said in a statement.
YouTube has also pointed out that most users now find trending content through personalised recommendations, not the old Trending tab.
The Trending page was launched in 2015 and showed users what was happening on YouTube from around the world. The page was not personalised and featured videos such as movie trailers, new songs, or popular clips.
