Considering the none of the top posts on the Trending Pastes page contains any source code, I'd say the site has drifted from it's original mission of "The website is mainly used by programmers to store pieces of sources code or configuration information"
However they state everyone is welcome to post any text, so they aren't discriminating. Users are just mainly using their service for a different purpose than they intended.

I assume that anybody sharing code snippets via pastebin is using it in a disposable way, since we have other places like github to share code in a more robust way. Thus they never end up on the "Trending" page.
