Yes, I was going through the issues at newpipe extractor yesterday to see if anything's there and saw that. Seems its not just trends, but youtube is planning another big update to overhaul the app as well as the site.

Videos in newpipe are taking longer and longer to buffer as well, sometimes loading forever. Someone probably created a post about that here.

Issue is fixed by using the debug apk link. I shared it in the issue description. Anyone still having trouble check there.

Still reproducible for me on 0.23.2, this version doesn't change anything about trending.

However, it seems to be less reproducible now, but it's still an A/B test.

Reopening.

I don't see what theta-dev's build has to do with this anyway. Might have been a placebo.
