I rarely look at the trending part of the feed.

Those words are common here. It's been like that for a long time. Those who place themselves there are most likely aware as well. They have the most clout I guess. They could change it. I wonder why they don't after all this time. The trending page should look like a magazine rack. A wide variety. Posts from all walks of life. People are drawn naturally to magazine racks. That's why they are placed next to a point of sale.
