YouTube tests new homepage without number of views and date of upload
YouTube has started testing a new version of its homepage, which lacks two key elements - the number of views and the date the video was published. This innovation aims to draw users' attention to the video title and author's name only.
Here's What We Know
YouTube is trying to modernise its platform by improving the interface and functionality. Although the number of views and the date of publication will not be displayed on the homepage, this information will remain available while watching the video.

The community's reaction to this innovation was mixed. Critics believe that publication dates are important, especially for news videos. On the other hand, supporters hope that this change will allow less popular authors to get more attention from viewers.
It is currently only in testing, and there is no information on when this feature might become available to all users.
