    most recent example of #1 i can think of is youtube removal of the "sort by oldest" on channels

    they added it back very recently

      That change must've looked incredible to the people approving it

      People watching a higher concentration of new videos

      -> much more relevant current day ad targeting

      -> much more efficient caching since people are viewing a smaller subset of videos

      -> probably easier to recommend more videos to the user since there's much more new videos than old videos

        Don't forget : having to spend more time looking for an old video by scrolling increase user average session length
