Under normal circumstances, a trending article would have a very high reading rate. However, the specific reading standards might vary depending on the platform, field, time, and other factors. On some social media platforms, an article with more than 10,000 views could be a hot topic. On literary platforms, an article with thousands to 10,000 views could also be considered a hot topic. However, on some news platforms, an article with only a few views might be a trending article, while on other platforms, an article with more than a million views might not be a trending article. Therefore, the reading standard of trending articles was not fixed but depended on the characteristics of the platform and the reader group.
