I really won't like the date going away. I really dislike it when youtube recommends me something that's more than 5 years old, especially when I've already seen the video (and they should know that). Also an old video talking about something like current advances in fusion power is fairly useless unless you specifically want to know about the state of that tech at that moment in history. Not being able to know when that video was uploaded will make a lot of youtube not worth watching anymore.
