The trending page of YT is like the r/all of Reddit. If I want to see some stuff I couldn’t care less about, that’s where I’ll find it. I have no idea who actually uses that, but I’ve never found anything of value there.
At least Reddit’s front page features some news sometimes while YT front page caters to 3-6 yr olds who are YT’s main demographic. It’s all AI junk clickbait brainrot and shorts content.
I could never click on any YT’s front page links. It’s not appealing to me not even in my drunkiest state
I’ve been using YouTube as my primary source of entertainment since 2009. I don’t think I’ve looked at the trending page even once.
Has the internet ever been a ‘monoculture’?
Exactly. I have my own interests and I just stick to that. Arts and crafts and dog grooming videos haven’t made me angry.

The only view of reddit I have is top/hour.
The YT trending was disgusting boring farmed content. It was like going to r/all two days ago.
