Hate to tell you, but copyright year is often programmatically set to the current year.

The copyright symbol and year that isn't even necessary. It's already assumed you own copyright.

Today I was shopping for a new office chair online and saw a brand I hadn't heard of before, so I went to their website to check it out. The website was incredibly bare-bones and the copyright year was 2011.

I noped out of there real quick.

To be honest, if they haven’t touched their website that long, you know it doesn’t contain 308 different trackers, will actually work without JavaScript and probably behave as you expect. Bonus points for tables as layout engine.

They’re still in business despite their crappy web page. Think about that.
