The Trending page makes me feel really old, and pretty "get off my lawn" w/r/t what's popular, or being promoted, right now. A lot of the channels I've followed have gone fallow. No new content. That said, I think the arguments around this topic are pretty disingenuous. 1) There's nasty content being uploaded to Youtube -- YouTube isn't making the nasty content. 2) YouTube promotes some content, people are pissed - it's all about the moneti$ation. 3) YouTube creates a system to stop promoting some kinds of content, people are pissed - censorship, slippery slope to de-platforming, etc. There's no real alternative to YouTube (Vimeo isn't it, and the blockchain YouTube isn't it) for: a) creators, b) creators who want to make money. And looking at what Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have to deal with in the social sphere, who'd want to inherit those problems? This is why we're still going to end up with aggregated media empires, because they'll accept the overhead of running the network, and it will simply get even more shallow in terms of who supplies "content".
