I think this is not "forgetting the older web" but the algorithm simply penalizing things that look like they pretend to be from the past.

- sct202 8y agoThat would be interesting, because it seems like a lot of blogs pretend to be from the present by updating the post/last modified date frequently but leaving the content the same as several years ago.
- jccalhoun 8y agoAgreed. This article commits the error that I see all too often online: a variation of Halon's razor where people will attribute something they don't like to deliberate malice rather than seeking some other explanation. I would be surprised if google is actually "forgetting" older web pages. I would think that the pages were still in the index but newer sites are just favored over older results.
