The removal of sort by date makes any search result algorithmic and thus can be manipulated to match advertiser or paid boosting. No doubt the team doesn’t want this. It’s just enshittification in motion
Am I crazy or is "sort by (upload) date" or "sort by most recent" by far the most useful option on most sites that you want to use more than once? (If not the only useful option).
