Define inappropriate. The worst thing I've seen is somebody who swears or makes a fair amount of edgy jokes.

I'm guessing you're outside the US since YouTube controls the trending tab pretty closely there.

Not saying these types of videos (or the ones they lead to) are trending, but you're asking for inappropriate.

Oh yeah, there's definitely disturbing stuff on YouTube, not denying that. I just thing if most edgy think on Trending is PewDiePie, it's not too bad. I know it's hard, but kids should be with their parents anyway, when online at a young age.

Trending yes, but related videos for a trending video can get inappropriate pretty quickly, especially with music videos.

Beyond that, if they can type, it’s fairly trivial to find softcore porn, death, gore, and weirdness on YouTube.

How about softcore porn in the form of music videos? This is media kids are taking in every day.
