Having a look at the trending section today I can see the following:
5 x Vevo music videos
5 x non vevo music videos
8x news/talk show clips
4 movie trailers/movie themed clips
5 x Clips about football/soccer
Content from actual youtubers not part of some huge corporation.....6. Out of these 6 Only 2 are what you would call small with only a handful of subscribers, however these are not what you would consider a channel as such, and are just people uploading a video of a snake fight and someones daughter facetiming. All very nice and nothing wrong with that. but it's very clear that youtubes goal is to be more like television, and is actively pushing that type of content..music videos, film trailers, the late show etc, sport and news.
