You were obviously playing four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence by John Cage[1] on repeat in the background! Crystal clear copyright violation!

That actually came up in a now-deleted comment. Incidentally, the audio is back now, though I made no request for review. I wonder if they periodically rescan content when they make changes to the algorithm.

Here's the video for the curious:

There is someone with a financial interest in not having people watch it, but removing the audio won't help them.
