About Trendsplained

Plenty of articles tell you what is trending. Trendsplained explains why: where something started, how it spread and whether it deserves your attention.

How we work

1. We look for topics rising quickly in search and on public platforms.
2. We go back to the original post, study or announcement.
3. We explain what happened and why in plain language.
4. We give our view, and correct it publicly if we get it wrong.

How it’s funded

Trendsplained is independent and funded by advertising. Advertisers have no say in what we cover.
