Why in the world would they give users the option to hide trending stuff?

If I want my content based on others' opinion, I go to Reddit.

What's the point to follow accounts if you're not guaranteed to see their content, and not in the prefer they intended to?

because what's trending never interests me, and possibly, other users?
