Someone, I think it was Copyblogger and others, convinced people that to create "evergreen content" you should take dates off articles and blog posts. The web has been worse off for this advice.
- jbpetersen 10y agoThat's what repos and wikis are for IMO.
- abandonliberty 10y agoEven while you're hunting for that date you're improving their metrics :( Having a date on the article is not an advantage here. Unfortunately I don't see this going away anytime soon. Something like a browser plugin that notified you of article date could be helpful, but would face challenges in mass adoption. Have you noticed the general reduction in usefulness/efficiency of web pages? I sure have. Pages turn a 100 word answer into a 10,000 word essay with 5 videos.
