Amen to that! The word "blog" stems from "weblog", and I don't understand why anyone would want a log that lacks timestamps? And for the record, I don't think an old publication date implies that the content is stale. It might be stale of course, and in that case the date will help me figure that out, which is good. It might not be stale despite having an old date, and in that case the date will help determine things like priority and standing the test of time. Which is also good. To me, lack of a date means the article is some SEO-tweaked clickbait whose only purpose is to waste my time.
