It's very hard to tell in that instagram video, it would be a lot clearer if someone overlaid the original unaltered video and the one viewers on YouTube are seeing.

That would presumably be an easy smoking gun for some content creator to produce.

There are heavy alterations in that link, but having not seen the original, and in this format it's not clear to me how they compare.

you can literally see the filters turn on and off making his eyes and lips bigger as he moves his face. It's clearly a face filter.

You're misunderstanding the criticism the video levies. It's not that he tried to apply a filter and didn't like the result, it was applied without his permission. The reason you can't simply upload the unaltered original video, is that's what he was trying to do in the first place.

What would "unaltered video" even mean.
