YouTube is experimenting with hiding the number of views and upload dates of videos on its homepage.

The company has not stated its motives for the change, but speculation suggests that a cleaner UI may encourage interest in non-viral material.

The update isn’t live for everyone, so it seems like the company is testing it with small groups of people before rolling it out in full glory.
