> Audio dynamic compression means something different from file data compression.

This is what I was trying to say. "You being at a -8 LUFS will not cause any more compression compared to you being at -14. "

You ignored my points and bring up something unrelated. The guy in the video shaved off 1 or 2dbs if I remember correctly, which would be barely noticeable. And Resolve didn't do this automatically, he had to manually measure LUFS, insert a limiter and dial in the settings. Not sure what's your point is. LUFS is designed in such a way to give a reliable metric on loudness. The reason compression is abused on TVs is because they use a naive dB metric in the regulations (iirc) so it's possible. YouTube doesn't do this. The use LUFS as shown in the video, that again, gets automatically adjusted to compensate. What the video shows is NOT AUTOMATIC (the worklow is not simple, nothing special nor baked in), and arguably pointless.
