There's an HDR war brewing on TikTok and other social apps. A fraction of posts that use HDR are just massively brighter than the rest; the whole video shines like a flashlight. The apps are eventually going to have to detect HDR abuse.

Just what we need, a new loudness war, but for our eyeballs.

Interestingly, the loudness war was essentially fixed by the streaming services. They were in a similar situation as Tik Tok is now.

I hope they end up removing HDR from videos with HDR text. Recording video in sunlight etc is OK, it can be sort of "normalized brightness" or something. But HDR text on top is terrible always.
