YouTube Broke Sort By Date to Better Censor Content (QRV)

submitted ago by 3100918?

I noticed YouTube's sort functionality was broken for the past couple of days. I look into it and find this YouTube support page where a Google Employee admits its they know its broke and it is to aid their censorship of content!

Is this so that people can't find the NZ shooting video when its uploaded?

YouTube is aware the search/sorting functions aren't working as expected – this is temporary and part of our efforts to better respond, review and remove graphic, violative content from YouTube. Thanks for your patience while we work through this. Will update this thread when these features are working normally again, feel free to subscribe for updates.

Days? Their search algorithm has been "broken" for a long time...

Sort by date on a news topic has always given results like 6 mo vid is placed above bids from 2 days, etc...
