- tiktok audios are better in quality when it's possible to get exact audio used in video and not the full version of it.
- cleaned up the way user preference stuff is passed over between modules, should be way more flexible now.
- added audio ignore list to services config json instead of hardcoding it.
ill remake a youtube function to pick a good video instead of broken one later, i just dont want cobalt to hang if one youtube cdn is down
i hate youtube so much
