I think she might just have forgotten to date this one? Most other articles back to 2020 seem to have publish dates. Either way this one seems to be from April 2020.

It does seem to be a trend in less-than-professional blogs.

Although I'd assume, maybe it helps with traffic? Presumably people would be more interested in reading a previous financial post, if they didn't know it was 2 years old.

The "best" policy is for content to start out dated and then simply erase the dates as it gets older.

An SEO scam I see some sites run is change it to an "updated at"
