More likely that terms that are continuously mentioned in huge numbers (and therefore don't count as "trending") are omitted.

- _delirium 16y agoThere are more principled ways to do that than a blacklist, though, like looking at current frequency compared to typical frequency. That way even something commonly mentioned could still genuinely be trending if it gets mentioned much more than usual on a particular day. (It's possible there are scale-related reasons that make this infeasible, though.)
- smackfu 16y agoJust not tracking the frequency of the most common words that will never be in the trending topics is probably a big performance win. I'm sure there is an additional blacklist that includes stuff like "and" and "the".
