Description

Videos downloaded from Instagram, with the creators username ending in an underscore(_) are downloaded into a filename without the underscore in it.
Example:
User: _test_

youtube-dl -v https://instagram.com/p/abc123

Expected Result:

A file called: "Video by _test_-abc123.mp4"

Actual Result:

A file called: "Video by _test-abc123.mp4"

It seems like the underscores are stripped when %(title)s is used in the output template, which is the default. If you explicitly specify %(uploader_id)s instead, you get the expected result.

Incorrect (default output template)

I'm not sure, I haven't found where in the code it would even trim underscores from the title.
