There once was a time a when you could just go on Youtube and find damn near any song you’ve ever loved, no matter how obscure. But Youtube pulled the plug on all of that, literally. So, if you start seeing a bunch of videos with no sound, don’t worry—it’s not your speakers.
The Google-owned video site has recently stepped up its anti-piracy efforts and went beyond corrective tactics such as notifications and video pulling. It straight muted thousands of user video posts that contained copyrighted music. That means if your video has “Swagger Like Us” somewhere in it, it’s about to be muted like a skin flick playing while mom’s in the next room.
