Cody Ko slams YouTube for showing nothing but Tiktok stars on top of trending page Cody Ko \/ Dixie D’Amelio YouTubeYouTuber Cody Michael Kolodziejzyk, known as Cody Ko, took aim at the video hosting platform for highlighting a spree of content on its trending page exclusively promoting TikTok stars like Charli & Dixie D\u2019Amelio, Noah Beck, Larray, Chase Hudson, and more. While there\u2019s been a slew of new personalities rising through the ranks of TikTok, some of the biggest names have been making the most of their minute of fame by branching to other forms of content. The D\u2019Amelio sisters, for example, have been under the wing of YouTube veteran James Charles, and each have been featuring on collabs or trendy challenges for the last few months. As big as these people have become, Cody Ko thought it was kind of funny how YouTube\u2019s curated Trending page featured some of the biggest players on TikTok \u2013 a rising competitor in the social media sphere. nice to see the youtube trending page promoting different types of content! pic.twitter.com\/jYs6IoLXdG \u2014 codyko (@codyko) December 23, 2020 \u201cNice to see the YouTube trending page promoting different types of content!\u201d Cody Ko said in disbelief, seeing how every video was essentially a different segment of the same band of content creators. The screenshot he included has a series of holiday related content featuring the same band of TikTokkers with videos of them on respective channels. While it makes sense that the rotating faces of the same six creators would trend with each other, Cody Ko found it humorous that YouTube would spotlight them so heavily on purpose. \u201cI\u2019m not mad, lol. I just think it\u2019s funny. Also the trending page is curated by people that work at YouTube,\u201d Cody Ko said in response to someone that suggested the YouTube algorithm had something to do with the list of videos. im not mad lol just think its funny. also the trending page is curated by ppl that work at youtube https:\/\/t.co\/NVKWa40YNz \u2014 codyko (@codyko) December 23, 2020 According to YouTube\u2019s help page on the Trending page, the company tries to feature at least half of the videos on it from people who are primarily creating content for YouTuber in most major markets. Though there\u2019s about 50 videos in the active Trending page, most of the top 10 on the list features the Best Friends that includes Charles, the D\u2019Amelio sisters, etc. While those creators bring in a ton of views on their own, there\u2019s been some criticism about YouTube showing these viral personalities on Trending instead of up-and-coming talent on the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
