Why is it called viral if it's not easy to find?

@ambonium you have a good point. But sometimes things can 'go viral' in niche communities and you might not know about them if you aren't active on Reddit/4Chan or wherever these things initially start gaining traction.

I really wish youtube would focus less on what is getting the most views and would have a tab for top quality videos. I love viral videos but youtube has so much more to offer that currently gets ignored by the platforms algorithms.

Official announcement here. YouTube have just rolled out a new 'Trending' Tab. You can also read about The Verge's coverage here.

I've enjoyed this feature on the PS4 YouTube app for while. It's a nice way to sit back and enjoy the latest weird on the Internet.

Anybody else go to youtube.com/charts. Similar in a way, although this page was never linked to anywhere on YouTube.
