Or how about how every single reddit post, according to Google, is from this year. Then you click it and find out its 10 years old.
I assume this is reddit trying to game the recency metric.

Another consequence of the redesign, much worse than useless dates, is that you get completely useless results just because the same "related post" (the title of which Google happens to deem "relevant") appears over and over again at the bottom of different pages.
To get around this you can search for "site:old.reddit.com" or "site:i.reddit.com". One downside is you get fewer results.
