YouTube titles mess up when name is in title

Open softgrass opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I (unfortunately) share the same name (my deadname, his name) as a famous rapper who I used to listen to. I still get some of his videos on my recommended and I noticed that anytime one of those videos comes up, it changes the title of almost EVERY video on the recommended page. It will still show the original title of the video, but the beginning part is the title of the video that has his name. (For ex: Video is titled "I love cats", the other videos that are unrelated will appear as "I love catsHow to build a chair") This same issue happens for comments that have the deadname in them. Not sure if this is a known issue, but thought I'd bring this up.

Just happened again RIGHT after posting this. Here's a screenshot (with the name censored for obvious reasons.) example
