You know why they might be hiding upload dates? My theory is, Youtube doesn't really want you looking at new stuff. (Very apparent by the algorithm) they want you looking at specific news stories, and specific content but not constantly seeking new uploads from independents.
But that is just a theory a plain theory. Thanks for watching.

All I can tell anyone concerned is, switch to Peertube. Pick an instance that's not fascist to avoid being labeled an alt right just from using it, and subscribe to creators and upload your videos there. (as even association with right platforms can be problematic for ones reputation.
Rumble and Odeysee, arguably are too dangerous to join, to one reputation. These platforms are known for either being or openly allowing alt right content. I would avoid those. Peertube is a safer choice, since it would vary on the specific server.
Better yet. Set up tube archivist or freshrss and just subscribe to decent channels. Ignore the horrible “algorithm” and stuff google wants you to watch.
If anyone is looking for a way to continue to support creators directly without subscribing to a million patreons, I really like my Nebula subscription, it's quality content for around $30 annually. I'm tempted to get the flat rate lifetime subscription because they are doing it so much better than YouTube at the moment.
