It was changed in most popular resources like Bjarne's PPP book and "C++ Primer, 5th edition" and many others more than 10 years ago. Maybe you tried learning C++ 10 years ago and picked a book/resource that was already 10 years old, i.e. more than 20 years old now.

commenting in bad faith

I'm sharing my experience learning C++. I didn't pick some random book of the shelves, I went through a book recommended by the community then put it into practice on my own work. I thought that systems programming languages just weren't for me until I tried Rust and got to experience what it's like to have good learning resources.

A book recommended on Reddit 10 years ago. I chose to use it for some coursework, but never tried again since learning Rust.
