To someone with light sensitivity issues, stumbling upon HDR content like this usually feels like an unexpected act of violence. I wish my phone featured a way to turn this off globally, as it's absolutely brutal in those endless video feed apps.

The first emoji here is just too bright. Even with my phone on low brightness, it's too blinding compared to everything else.

On iPhones, there is an option - "reduce white point" in the vision/display accessibility settings, and also low power mode. You can force low power mode to remain on with the Shortcuts app

That sounds very good. Unfortunately in this instance I'm on Android.
