YouTube is killing its Trending page a decade after its debut
TL;DR YouTube is sunsetting its Trending page a decade after its launch.
The company has urged users to rely on personalized recommendations and YouTube Charts to discover trending content.
The Trending page and Trending Now list will be removed across all platforms on July 21.
YouTube is pulling the plug on its Trending page, about a decade after its debut. The page and the Trending Now list will be removed across all platforms later this month, and the company is directing users to its category-based YouTube Charts to discover trending videos.
YouTube announced the change in a recent post on its community forums, attributing the decision to a steady decline in traffic to the Trending page over the past five years. The company noted that users today discover trends in different places across the platform, including recommendations, search suggestions, Shorts, comments, and Communities. Therefore, it's 'shifting away from one all-encompassing Trending list towards category-specific charts.'
YouTube Charts currently offers charts listing the most popular content for a few categories, including music videos, podcasts, and movie trailers. YouTube plans to add more categories over time. In the meantime, it urges viewers to rely on personalized recommendations or head to the Gaming Explore page to discover trending gaming videos. Viewers can also continue browsing content that isn't personalized in the Explore menu, on creator channels, and in their subscription feed.
YouTube has also urged creators who rely on the Trending page to research video ideas to use the Inspiration tab in YouTube Studio. This tab offers personalized video ideas based on what's popular with the creator's audience.
The support page for YouTube's Trending feature notes that the page will be removed on July 21, 2025. As of now, YouTube hasn't revealed what new chart categories are in development or when they'll be made available to users.

Cathie Wood buys $45 million of battered megacap tech stock
Cathie Wood buys $45 million of battered megacap tech stock originally appeared on TheStreet. Cathie Wood doesn't give up on companies she believes in. The Ark Invest chief is known for sticking with tech stocks she sees as "disruptive", often buying even when they face setbacks. This is what she just did, adding to a high-profile tech stock amid a post-earnings dip. Wood's funds have experienced a volatile ride this year, swinging from sharp losses to strong gains. In January and February, the Ark funds rallied as investors bet on the Trump administration's potential deregulation that could benefit Wood's tech bets. But that momentum hit hard in March and April, with the funds trailing the market as top holdings slid amid growing concerns over the macroeconomy and trade policies. Now, the fund is regaining momentum. As of July 25, the flagship Ark Innovation ETF () is up 33.3% year-to-date, far outpacing the S&P 500's 8.6% gain. Wood's remarkable return of 153% in 2020 helped build her reputation and attract loyal investors. Her strategy can lead to sharp gains during bull markets but also painful losses, like in 2022, when ARKK tumbled more than 60%. As of July 25, Ark Innovation ETF, with $6.8 billion under management, has delivered a five-year annualized return of negative 0.03%. The S&P 500 has an annualized return of 16.46% over the same period. Cathie Wood's investment strategy explained Wood's investment strategy is straightforward: Her Ark ETFs typically buy shares in emerging high-tech companies in fields such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, biomedical technology and robotics. According to Wood, these companies have the potential to reshape industries, but their volatility leads to major fluctuations in Ark funds' Ark Innovation ETF wiped out $7 billion in investor wealth over the 10 years ending in 2024, according to an analysis by Morningstar's analyst Amy Arnott. That made it the third-biggest wealth destroyer among mutual funds and ETFs in Arnott's ranking. Wood recently said the U.S. is coming out of a three-year 'rolling recession' and heading into a productivity-led recovery that could trigger a broader bull market. In a letter to investors published in late April, she dismissed predictions of a recession dragging into 2026 and struck an optimistic tone for tech stocks. "During the current turbulent transition in the US, we think consumers and businesses are likely to accelerate the shift to technologically enabled innovation platforms including artificial intelligence, robotics, energy storage, blockchain technology, and multiomics sequencing," she said. But not all investors share this optimism. Through July 10, the Ark Innovation ETF saw nearly $2 billion in net outflows over the past 12 months, according to ETF research firm VettaFi. Cathie Wood buys $45 million of Tesla stock after earnings On July 24, the day when Tesla () dropped 8.2% following its second-quarter earnings, Wood's Ark funds snapped up 143,190 shares worth around $45.3 million. This was one of Wood's largest recent purchases. Tesla's Q2 earnings were quite dismal. The electric vehicle maker reported a 16% drop in automotive revenue as vehicle sales declined for the second straight company posted adjusted earnings of 40 cents per share, missing the 43 cents expected. Revenue came in at $22.50 billion, slightly below the $22.74 billion forecast. 'We probably could have a few rough quarters. I am not saying that we will, but we could,' CEO Elon Musk said. Tesla is grappling with growing challenges, from the rise of lower-cost electric vehicle competitors, especially in China, to a political backlash against Musk that has damaged the brand in the U.S. and Europe. But that hasn't stopped Wood, a longtime supporter of Tesla, from doubling down. 'We've been dealing with controversy around Elon Musk in one form or another since we first bought the stock,' Wood said in a recent interview with Bloomberg. 'We do trust the board and the board's instincts here and we stay out of politics.' She also noted that Musk seems more focused on the business again, especially after he decided to take charge of sales in the US and Europe. 'One of the announcements Elon made recently is that he is going to oversee sales in the US and in Europe,' Wood said. 'When he puts his mind on something, he usually gets the job done. So I think he's much less distracted now than he was, let's say, in the White House 24/7.' Back in March, Wood predicted Tesla's stock would reach $2,600 in five years, which is nearly nine times higher than where it trades now. Much of the optimism is driven by the company's highly anticipated robotaxi, which Wood believes will account for 90% of the company's value. Musk said during the earnings call that Tesla's robotaxi service, which the company has recently started testing in Austin, Texas, will expand to other states, with a goal of covering half the U.S. population by year-end pending regulatory approvals. "That's at least our goal, subject to regulatory approvals. I think we will technically be able to do it," he said. Tesla stock is down more than 21% year-to-date. The stock has long been Wood's biggest holding, accounting for 9.6% of the Ark Innovation Wood buys $45 million of battered megacap tech stock first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

Nick Hogan speaks out to honor ‘greatest dad in the world' days after Hulk's death
Hulk Hogan's only son Nick has honored the wrestling legend in a heartfelt tribute in his first remarks since his father's sudden death. Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, died last Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest at the age of 71. He is survived by Nick, 35, and estranged daughter Brooke, 37, whom he shared with his first ex-wife, Linda. 'This has been overwhelming and extremely difficult,' Nick wrote on Instagram on Saturday alongside a carousel of images of him and his father throughout the years. The first image featured the pair in matching red and yellow shirts when Nick was a young boy. 'Hearing so many kind words and stories about my dad's life, interactions and experiences with everyone has been incredible and comforting,' he added. Remembering Hogan as the 'most incredible person I've ever known' and his forever 'hero,' he called him the 'most kind, loving and amazing father anybody could ask for.' 'I feel so blessed to have had the greatest dad in the world,' Nick wrote. 'He was not only the best dad but also my mentor and my best friend. He always has been my best friend and I love him and miss him more than I could ever explain.' Nick Hogan said he had thanked his father 'for everything he has ever done for me and told him how much I loved him and hugged him every chance I got.' 'I spent a lot of time with him the past few years after moving back to Florida to be closer to him and I am so grateful for those memories. They are the best moments in my life,' he added. He continued: 'I would do anything to have him back but I know now that he will always be watching over me. I will always remember the lessons and advice he gave me and carry on in a way that I know would make him proud.' Hogan thanked his father for being 'the best dad in the world' and his 'best friend.' 'I love you so much Big Dog and I will miss you forever,' he wrote. The family of four — Hogan, Linda, Brooke, and Nick — starred in a reality TV series, Hogan Knows Best, which aired from 2005 to 2007. During the filming of the series, Nick was a burgeoning motorsports racer. But his career was cut short after he was involved in a devastating car crash in 2007. He was accused of driving under the influence of alcohol and spent several months in a Florida county jail. He remained close to his father over the years, even celebrating Hogan on Father's Day last month. 'Had a great Father's Day with the goat! Happy Father's Day to all the awesome dads!' he wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of himself as a child flexing with his father. Brooke, on the other hand, had experienced a falling out with both of her parents, revealing in March that she had 'completely separate reasons for going no contact' with both of them. 'I have been EXTREMELY verbally and mentally abused since childhood,' Brooke claimed on Instagram. 'Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it's not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes.' Linda vehemently denied Brooke's accusations, calling her daughter 'a narcissist just like her dad.' Meanwhile, Hogan said he had no idea why Brooke no longer spoke to him.

American musical satirist Tom Lehrer dies at 97, US media report
American musician and satirist Tom Lehrer has died at the age of 97, according to US media reports. Lehrer, a Harvard-trained mathematician, wrote darkly humorous songs, often with political connotations, that became popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Modern comedians such as Weird Al Yankovich said they have been influenced by Lehrer's work. His death was confirmed to the New York Times by David Herder, a friend. Born in Manhattan in 1928, Lehrer was a classically trained pianist. But despite his musical success, he spent most of his life pursuing academia. His teaching posts included spells at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of California. 'I remember Ozzy missing a gig and it caused a riot' Brian Wilson obituary: Troubled genius who wrote most of The Beach Boys' hits He graduated early from the Loomis Chaffee School in Connecticut, according to the New York Times, and then went to Harvard, where he majored in mathematics and received his bachelor's degree in 1946 aged 18. He completed a masters there and also pursued a PHd at Columbia University, which he never completed. He began writing lyrics while at Harvard to entertain friends. Lehrer's most enduring songs include The Elements, a list of the chemical elements set to the tune of I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General from The Pirates of Penzance, Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera. Other fan favourites include The Masochism Tango, in which singer extols his beloved's violent passions with the lyrics, "I ache for the touch of your lips, dear / But much more for the touch of your whips, dear..." He was renowned for his darkly comic ballads, including the necrophiliac epic I Hold Your Hand in Mine, I Got It From Agnes - where he sang about the transmission of a venereal disease - and Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, which detailed the birds' apparent appetite for "peanuts coated with cyanide". In 1953 he released Songs by Tom Lehrer, a record that was sold through the post. It became a word of mouth success and sold an estimated half a million copies. The BBC banned most of Songs from the airwaves the following year. Following the success of the album, Lehrer began playing in nightclubs in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and at events for anti-war and left-wing groups. He wrote songs for the US edition of the satirical British show That Was the Week That Was, which were were made into an album in 1965. The highly controversial Vatican Rag, a Catholic hymn set in ragtime that mocked the Church, was featured among other songs that condemned nuclear weapons. He wrote for the 1970s educational children's show, The Electric Company, and in 1980 his songs enjoyed a revival when theatre producer Cameron Mackintosh staged the musical revue "Tomfoolery" featuring his work. He also taught maths and musical theatre courses at the University of California from 1972 to 2001, according to the New York Times. In 2020, Lehrer placed his song writing copyrights in the public domain, allowing anyone to perform, record or interpret his work for free. He also relinquished all rights to his recordings. In a statement on his website at the time, he wrote: "In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs. So help yourselves, and don't send me any money." He also warned the website would be "shut down at some date in the not too distant future". The website was still live at the time of writing.
