Why was it removed in the first place?

My money is on one of either

  • sorting made it too easy to skip shit content and YouTube decided they lost engagement
  • it's too confusing for normies

This is why we can't have nice things.

Damn I've gotten so cynical about social media.

You don't have to stop at social media... my cynicism encompasses the entirety existence

Go to Vsauce, sort from oldest and be surprised.
