Fair.  And I suppose some algos will bias against older content.  

The dynamics may be somewhat like clickbait.  Many well-intentioned content creators are still forced into using clickbait images and titles, because they'd have much lower viewership if they didn't.

I'd argue that evergreen content can still include timestamps for when it was last updated, like "updated on YYYY-MM-DD", and that would never not be helpful.
