"Book from a whistleblower - titled 'Meta' - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon"

Sometimes I hate the whole "proper prose title" that articles use

Edit:
Perhaps it's "Book from whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon".
I didn't read the article. The title broke my brain

Heck, prose aside, is there something wrong with commas?

It's just that punctuation is not meant to be used in titles.

English has a bunch of weird rules.

Those are used to replace "and" obviously.

No? "Book from a whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon ".
