Again, #Wordpress shows that they don't understand what a blog is. Also, why is this on by default? Oh wait, I know why! Tech dudes don't know what 'opt in' means! https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/11/05/your-content-is-going-to-get-more-random/

@kauer @WeirdWriter as an available feature available to you to turn on is fine I guess, but enabling it by default and suggesting people who might want to preserve original behaviour hates fun is something else.
It sure tells us a lot about the people in charge over there. There is an assumption that they own the ecosystem and the site owners are just users.
@WeirdWriter That's a really bad idea. It enables an end-run around any URL-based restrictions a site may have on particular posts. It provides three new paths to any given post; more if the post is in multiple categories, has multiple tags or is a custom post type. That's quite a widening of the DoS attack surface. And turning it on by default is arrogant.
