Active mappers who regularly check out the different imagery layers can usually tell when one gets refreshed with new imagery, but it does vary a lot based on location.
What if we had a wiki page, that tried to loosely track imagery freshness. eg. just a list of cities Sydney with info like "currently freshest is Maxar". or "ESRI appeared to refresh within the last 6 months", etc. What do you think? Keep in mind (this is even something I need to do better at), when armchair mapping from aerial imagery or street level imagery it's always a good idea to check the last edit date of the feature you're editing. If it's a few years old then it's usually safe to replace, but if it's within the last 6 months it could well be more current than the imagery.
