Anecdotal: uploading a video of original songs with political/protest lyrics will have random background noises added to the audio track, making the songs audio seem amateurish.

Welp, guess I didn't want to learn about that anyway

Sorry. Thats fixed now.

The audio is really strange, have people tested it with similar sounding videos without ungoodthink?

Have a mirror of the TikTok version for comparison? It’s just showing me “Video currently unavailable”.

Dang. I didn’t download it. But when was live it had the deep sound of chopper type motorcycles in the background.

can you relax the restrictions on your link or share a direct link to the video, i dont have a bluesky account

Yes. Sorry I’d no idea/forgotten it worked that way. Thank you for pointing it out. I’ve updated my settings.

That's super curious. No offense, the noise didn't make it sound more amateurish to me personally, so I wouldn't go as far as to immediately conclude that this was intentional by TikTok, let alone that it is because it didn't like the lyrics, but I'm very curious what is it anyway.

Reminds me of how someone lately was going crazy about weird video-artifacts on Youtube. It was fixed (for his videos) after contacting somebody on the technical side of Youtube, but there was never an explanation AFAIK of what actually went wrong, so I was left pondering if that could be a result of some more ambitious ML-experiments in attempt to improve compression rates or something, but never found out conclusively.
