There is worse than content without a date. There is content with a fake date, changed to appear like it's relevant while it isn't.

There is nothing more frustrating that typing "XXXX 2022" click a link and see "XXXX-2020" in the URL.

People legit not changing their article but updating the title to stay on top of the SEO game. Usually found on generic searches that drive big traffic. I freaking hate that so much.

That’s especially common in blogspam where they programmatically update the year to the current year when compiling a stolen best-of list.
