Our tastes are so different. I'd much rather watch a great video from 2005 than a good one from 2020. I'm irritated by the recommendation algorithms pushing new content. Why would I care whether the video was published last night or last year?

Yes, recommendation should be personalized anyway, so you can get videos from 9 years ago and I don't.
If e.g. you want political thinking in current events than you'd probably value recent videos more.

If you wanna see a great video on some obscure implementation detail of some electronics gear from the soviet era it doesn't really matter if it was uploaded a year ago or 8 years ago.
