There clearly is a point when a compressed jpeg becomes a transformation, even if the precise point is ambiguous. Take 'The Bee Movie at 3000% speed except when they say "bee"', for example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7apltfVJBwU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7apltfVJBwU. It hasn't been taken down for over 5 years so I'm going to assume it's considered acceptable/transformational use. Personally, I'd say what matters is whether you'd plausibly use the transformed/compressed version as a drop-in substitute for the original.
