>>13546493Anon, it’s not “AI” with an “override button”. These companies aren’t dumb to allow for the most prominent space in their sites to be user generated.
Twitter trending is a curated list. The list of potential choices may be automatic and maybe it even is on a “gets published if not overridden” basis but it is a curated list nonetheless.
And more than enough cases trends just “disappear” and then the purposefully misspelled alternative to the hashtag starts trending, only to disappear again.
In other cases hashtags with low thousand posts trend for long without getting any significant traction.
Twitter trending is a curated list. YouTube trending (and the videos that appear in that page) is a curated list. Google News front page is a curated list.
And these companies would be dumb it that was not the case.
