Could you share an example of a YouTube video that does not have an upload date?
I watch quite a lot of YouTube and very frequently look up the date that videos were uploaded. I've never found this information to be missing.

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.

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]
