[Feature Request]: show date for YouTube playlists on a channel's Playlists tab. #3637

Problem Description

On the PLAYLISTS tab of a channel, YouTube shows the date of the last update for some recently updated playlists. That's very useful, and it's a pity that YouTube doesn't show it for all playlists. But FreeTube does not show it at all.

Proposed Solution

Show the date for as many lists as possible.

Alternatives Considered

  1. If YouTube does not report the dates on its page, try to find at least something out for the first playlist when sorting by Last Video Added.
  2. Also show the upload date of the most recently uploaded video in the playlist.

We do show it in the playlist, u just have to sort by Last video added to get the same result.

Edit: I'm closing this one because IMO just showing it for a few playlists (like YT does) instead of all could confuse users. I think they are experimenting again with all new sorts of things to check what sticks.

I don't want to go to the playlist to see the date. I want to see which playlists I need to check for new videos, and in what playlists a recently uploaded video I want to download is. I would prefer to see dates for all playlists, but if that is not possible, what YouTube already shows is also very useful. YouTube has been showing only some dates for months, if not years.

You're usecase is totally valid and i think that you're not the only one so for that reason i'll reopen.
