Based on the feed back from many different YouTubers now @TeamYouTube!
YouTube is infact broken. Notifications are not working. And people are getting recommended videos that are two months to two years old.
Youtubers are experiencing a 20% to 30% loss in views.

In what world is recommending old videos bad? As an example, I have a very old video from 2 years ago that’s quite good and polished but never got any attention, lately it’s been doing well and people said they clicked on it in their recommendations.

People should care, because it’s taking the spotlight from new videos that are interest based, to random videos with no correlation to what you actually watch.

I just gave an example of how it’s positive. I don’t see negatives in recommending old-but-good videos. Videos shouldn’t have a set time limit before they vanish, never to be recommended again

Because that example is just s good example for you, not for everyone else. If people got recommended old videos from YouTubers they were subscribed to then it would be fine. And if you're video was recommended along with notifications from subs it'd also be fine.

So universally old videos shouldn’t appear in recommendations only unless you’re subbed to someone? Sorry, no. That’s not how growth works.

And also to clarify if it's recommending a video that's quite relevant to their tastes then that's fair enough. But often I'd get really random recommendations. For example, I once got a video recommendation for midgets racing against a horse.
