YouTube Trending VS YT Music

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).

It works on Mac, though I've personally had a better experience with a similar app called "YT Music": https://ytmusic.app/ It has a nice Mac menu bar integration. Source: over 1 year ago

I downloaded it from https://ytmusic.app/. Source: almost 3 years ago

Is is possible too somehow enable caching for YT Desktop? Both on ytmusic.app as well as YT Music proper I do not see any way to automatically cache songs or even forcefully download them. I am trying to see if this is a useful alternative to Spotify considering I already pay for YT Premium. The lack of smart/auto caching is making the experience feel quite a bit slower though. Is this a problem on mobile? Source: about 3 years ago
