Maybe Facebook should just kill trending.<p>It&#x27;s raison d&#x27;etre is to expose people to stories beyond the narrow bubble of their news feed. But apparently people don&#x27;t like the idea of using human curation to get well-balanced stories in front of readers, so it would be much better if people only spent time reading cat videos in news feed.<p>Also, people need to make a clearer distinction between the trending topics view and news feed. They&#x27;re separate products with different algorithms entirely.
