Don't ever recommend videos from 9 years ago please.

This is the part I don't understand, how is Google doing so bad at this. You get slightly better experience if you use Chrome. It (on purposely?) keeps asking you to click 3 buttons to play a video Edge, and won't even show comments.

Our tastes are so different. I'd much rather watch a great video from 2005 than a good one from 2020. I'm irritated by the recommendation algorithms pushing new content. Why would I care whether the video was published last night or last year?

If e.g. you want political thinking in current events than you'd probably value recent videos more.

If you wanna see a great video on some obscure implementation detail of some electronics gear from the soviet era it doesn't really matter if it was uploaded a year ago or 8 years ago.

Yes, recommendation should be personalized anyway, so you can get videos from 9 years ago and I don't.

What I mean is it displays a button to click after I clicked play on video when I use Edge, which is my main drive nowadays. And the comments are not displaying. It cannot be only my experience I hope :S so I get downvoted because my taste not liking old videos :/
