I think I agree here. GitHub calls itself social coding, but trending fits in poorly with that. When I hit a problem that I think might be solved by open source, telling me that the TypeScript repo is trending gives me exactly zero information. If we're honest, the Trending tab often seems to mean, "these projects went viral on HN/social media." And I'm not sure why they deserve extra attention, but it follows the general trend of social media being obsessed with perpetuating the Matthew Effect.
