> I think YouTube should also allow viewers to see what was removed unless there was a very good reason for it. If a user removes one of their videos, I think that YouTube is obligated to remove all the metadata as well as the actual video. I think that users would be confused if they tried to remove a video and found that the video title and metadata was still there. If videos are removed for copyright or policy reasons, that's probably also enough reason to need to remove everything. This is especially true if the violations are in the metadata itself. > Did you know a video can have a different title depending on your language setting? I'm not sure if that's optional automated Google Translate or written by the uploader. It's a feature[0] that the uploader can choose to use. I don't think they're really being "opaque" about it; presumably this is what the uploader would prefer users see in those languages.
