In attempting to post another youtube video which featured an emoji I eventually found a probable solution without creating a conspiracy theory.
"Something in your environment is not set up to correctly process Unicode text.
The byte sequence F0 9F 98 9C, represented incorrectly as "😜" in your query, is the UTF8 encoding of the Unicode character "a smiley face icon", FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE. (That is, it's an emoji character.)
To store this character correctly, you will need to make sure that:
You are enabling UTF8 on your MySQL connection (i.e, SET NAMES utf8, or use an option when connecting that similarly enables it).
You are running MySQL 5.5 or later.
Your table's character set is utf8mb4."
The solution is probably tochange connection to mysql from SET NAMES utf8 to SET NAMES utf8mb4, in order to fix video posts failing because youtube videos can now use emojis in their titles which will affect the resulting youtube link based on it.
