YouTube is hiding views and upload dates for videos on its homepage in a test. Fans don’t like it, but is it a smart strategy?

    You know why they might be hiding upload dates? My theory is, Youtube doesn’t really want you looking at new stuff. (Very apparent by the algorithm) they want you looking at specific news stories, and specific content but not constantly seeking new uploads from independents.

    But that is just a theory a plain theory. Thanks for watching.
