It looks like Coinmarketcap trying to promote shitcoins over being neutral anymore because when I open their site, their default home page is showing 24 hours of trending coins/tokens instead of show the top coins/tokens.
This is the definition of trending cryptocurrencies by CMC, someone could create a bot to click the coin/token on CMC to make it trending.

Listed below are the hottest trending cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap. These are the coins and tokens that have the most visibility in the last 24 hours across the site. CoinMarketCap has millions of visitors everyday, which means that the list below is a great way to understand the current trends, pumps and losses in the market.
Bitcoin not even on the list of top 100 coins on CMC, it is possible? on Coingecko, Bitcoin is trending on top 3.
What do you think? time to move to Coingecko?

They are promoting, I guess their management changed or something, because for the past few years they’ve been showing their own top cryptocurrencies. I think Coingecko shows more accurate results. Recently, they made every coin submission paid, so yes, they are charging to list coins and tokens. Who knows what these scam coins are paying to appear in the trending list.
