YouTube Trending VS Amazon Video Direct

Why do I have to type in youtube.com/feed/trending to get to the trending page with the most recent update? Why isn't there any other way to get to it? Source: over 1 year ago

I used to click "explore" all the time when I wasn't watching anything (I don't want to use the homepage because it's too crazy). Also (as the title says) they COMPLETELY removed Explore. Going to youtube.com/feed/explore (as the title says) redirects you to the Trending page at youtube.com/feed/trending. RIP Explore Button 2021(?)-2022 (I don't know when it launched).

I don't think it's possible on YouTube. You CAN do this on Amazon however: https://videodirect.amazon.com/home/landing. Source: 12 months ago

It's not that difficult to get films distributed through Amazon. It didn't mean she worked for them. It wasn't even produced by Amazon. Source: about 1 year ago

Amazon does have a program where independent films can end up on the platform, but it isn't Amazon "buying" the project in any way. It's called Prime Video Direct and it lets independent film makers put their stuff on Amazon and Amazon takes a cut of any revenue generated. Source: over 1 year ago

Ah. That's for "Prime Video Direct", which appears to be a program for indie filmmakers to submit their content: https://videodirect.amazon.com/home/landing. Source: over 1 year ago

Amazon Prime is even worse. There are some janky-ass movies on there since anyone can upload a movie. Source: almost 2 years ago
