5. Yes, I'd seen that you posted the audio-only version, as another DUer had

Sunday

last November (a different audio-only video, though, uploaded to YouTube 7 years ago, instead of the one you posted that was uploaded in 2024; both those audio-only videos are on the band's YouTube channel).

Those audio-only videos have both been viewed on YouTube only a few hundred thousand times, compared to over 4 million for the official video you're asking about.

Just checked Reddit again. There aren't many threads about that song there, period, and I saw only two with any discussion of the 2016 video - the r/videos thread I found yesterday on Google that showed a warning then that it was Mature content, a warning that didn't show up today, and another in the Pink Floyd subreddit, r/pinkfloyd, where not everyone liked the video but the objection wasn't to the graphic content. The fans there just didn't think the protest footage fit the song.
