Google's video search results seem to be testing removing the YouTube channel name and video upload date from the search results snippet. I am not sure why Google would remove these important details from the search listings, but I guess Google likes to test these things.

This was spotted by Frank Sandtmann, who posted this on Mastodon and I was able to replicate this.
