granny has the audio for her TV shows turned up because she can barely hear them. On the ad break the volume is insane 🙉

This was made illegal decades ago on network and cable television. About time it circled around to streaming.

one of the reasons i have captions on all the time. so i can keep the volume low enough during the program that the loud(er) advertisements don't knock me out of my chair... or interrupt my nap.
