Don't Post Evergreen Content on Medium

I don't fully disagree with you, but I think it depends on the domain.

You're right that it's annoying the way Google will show me results of a blog post recently published by someone who just "discovered" something that's been known for decades, and what Google shows me is a poor summary of more in-depth original work done elsewhere.

But at the same time, I hate the way when I search for solutions to an issue involving computers, I'll Google shows me nothing but results that are 10 years old, and no longer work because the operating system has changed.

I wish I could put a limit on how old something could be before it's no longer allowed to show up in my Google Now cards in android.

Respect for high quality old content, mixed with a more prominent UI for the time filter (it used to be soon Google, but less so now) is the right trade-off imho.
