I stumbled across this recently and was puzzled.

If I find that link / another example I will share here. <placeholder>

But this definitely is a feature of YouTube where content creators have an option to hide the date. I googled and found the documentation for this feature.

Not sure if this is OP's case, but YouTube has the rare video with no metadata visible whatsoever (tested web):

Woow, thanks very much for this piece of interestingness. What even is this?

Even ad rolls (if you dig out the video id) have some sort of interesting "noone will see this" title :)

And random apps on the Play Store also have video titles.

Adding the video to Watch Later by replaying the request using cURL seems to work, at which point I can add the video to a playlist to find it later (yay), and also click through to see the uploader: https://www.youtube.com/user/GameloftVideos

Except for the bit where it says "This channel is not available" using the YouTube design from a few years ago and displays absolutely nothing, the account is perfectly normal, nothing to see here.

Wow.

What even is this?? [Edit: just realized I forgot I said that above. I'm leaving it in :P]
