YouTube is prioritizing short-form videos over long-form content, resulting in a significant drop in views for many creators. Recent data shows homepage visibility for long videos is shrinking, while short videos are gaining prominence. This change raises concerns about the sustainability of creators relying on long-form content for revenue.

YouTube is discontinuing its trending page, a feature that highlighted popular videos on the platform. This move aims to streamline user experience and shift focus towards personalized recommendations and algorithm-driven content. Users may find it challenging to discover trending videos as a result.
