Essential Information

• YouTube has announced that it will be discontinuing its singular “Trending” page in favor of a new “Charts” for particular content categories (e.g., Music, Podcasts, Movie Trailers, Gaming).
• This adjustment is thought to mirror how users are now discovering trends through recommendations, searches, and communities, moving away from one all-encompassing list.
• In conjunction with this suggested change, new functionalities are expected to assist creators in understanding audience engagement and promoting their content, featuring personalized recommendations and a “Hype” function.

Content discovery on YouTube is set to evolve shortly as the streaming platform implements significant modifications in the upcoming weeks, the company revealed.

The YouTube team communicated in a related community page announcement that the widely-used Trending page will be eliminated along with the Trending Now list. Users will now locate “most popular content” within designated categories on the new YouTube Charts.
