As much as I hate advertising everywhere, you bring a fair point. Logos can easily be an indicator of place and time for a recordings.

The above is also why I can't stand how many blogs these days don't put a publish date anywhere, for the sake of minimalism.

I think the real, unwritten reason they're doing this is to serve as an adblock for video content you 'consume' - that is, television shows and movies.
