🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
they doing that to stop all the scrapers like newpipe from "working".
shit is hilarious.
fuck you Google.
How's that gonna break NewPipe and the likes? Surely they don't rely solely on the Trending page to get videos and such. I can see unpopular videos as well.
Sure, that could break their Trending pages. But they can then adapt by adopting the different Trending categories, innit? Make it a drop-down on the Trending page to select a category and avoid cluttering other parts of the interface with all the options
it won't, but it's clearly a deterrent. a pathetic one at that.
