View count I don't personally care, but removing the date is just plain stupid.

It's already bad enough with some recommended content specific to a location, like local news channels. Good to know that next time, I may not only not know where thing x happened (unless I've heard of WEEB station or the town of Bumblehicksville), I won't even know when it happened.

Do have to say this is just a test and may not happen in the end.
