alt Hacker NewsOriginal Youtube title of the video I got a few hours ago was: "LG’s Manipulative, Gaslighting Response to GN Report"
Either they changed it for some legal reason, or Youtube allows for A/B testing of multiple titles for engagement.

It's almost certainly A/B test. Essentially everyone does it.
You can even sometimes see when a list of videos on YT first loads and a given video has one title, and it suddenly switches to another without you reloading the page.

YouTube encourages A/B testing of both titles and thumbnails, but it could be either.

Youtube allows you to AB test with up to 3 titles and thumbnails.
