YouTube is shutting down its Trending page after ten years, ending the era of a single viral video list. Instead, the platform is rolling out new category-specific lists like music, podcasts, movie trailers, and live streams, which will be part of YouTube Charts. This change reflects the reality that there is no longer just one viral video; thousands of microtrends now shape diverse communities. Visits to the Trending page have been declining for five years as users discover new content through comments, searches, and homepages. The changes will be implemented globally in the coming weeks. This move shocks many who relied on the unified list of popular videos, but YouTube says it’s time to adapt to modern user interaction. Meanwhile, YouTube Premium prices in Serbia will rise starting August 3, complicating things for paid subscribers. YouTube is testing new features to attract users, but will it be enough to keep the audience? If you thought the Trending page was just another list, think again — it was the birthplace of viral hits and community hubs. Now, with thousands of microtrends, YouTube is breaking that unique phenomenon to fit the new digital age. Is this the end of the viral video era or the start of a new one? Share your thoughts — maybe you know where viral fame will hide next!
