I'm not sure how you can be so invested in YouTube and not at least be aware of trending. Have I ever looked at it? Not intentionally. Am I aware of it? Yeah.
When I open YouTube it gives me an edless feed of recommendations tailored to me. I don't care what other people are watching. If there's a tab with the title "trending" I've probably just never clicked it. I'm not even tempted to go see.
Have never seen a link to a "Trending" page or a "Trending Now" list in any of those spots.
I have YouTube bookmarked to go directly to subscriptions and I have revanced configured to open directly to subscriptions. I've still seen trending as a tab in the sidebar on the website, and accidentally tapped on it back before vanced existed.
All of that said, I did just check and it's way more difficult to find now. It's near the bottom of the sidebar in browser, and iirc it used to have its own frustratingly dedicated tab in the mobile app, which it no longer does.
