YouTube video has no title, description, or comments section

Originally posted on Reddit [1], this video appears to not have a title, description, or comments section. After doing some research, it seems like [2] this video was posted by the YouTube Channel Emre Kerabark [3] and all of their videos [4] act the same. For example [5], [6], and [7]. When you go to the channel, YouTube says that the channel is not available. Going by the Wayback Machine [8], it looks like the channel was taken down between May 23rd 2019 and March 6th 2020. The channel post-username-to-id-change should be listed here [9] but isn't. I'm thinking this is probably a bug.

I fed it through the 2FB api and revealed the title. "The White Buffalo - House of the Rising Sun"

The title shows up for me on the tab, just nowhere in the page.

Interestingly if you post it to Twitter, the info shows up just fine in the preview image and text.
