YSK long noise videos cant effectively be compressed and as such take quite a lot of storage space and bandwidth. So if you want to keep the hosting costs of social media platforms low, for example when going public, you definetly wouldnt want disenfranchised users to upload them to your platform. This is the kind of noise you would want to avoid: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15792105/simulating-tv-noise#15795112

    Oh yeah good point, I didn’t think about server side compression. But I think noise videos might still be worse, since they provide no additional content for the platform.
