100% correct. There are plenty of options to avoid loud ads, like balanced audio. For those who don't have that or can't afford, you can always mute... Not sure why congress thinks they have the right to interfere with this, but it's much absurd.
The USSA just keeps getting worse...

I'm constantly scrambling for the remote during commercials, as sometimes they sounds literally twice as loud. Sometimes I put it on mute, but then don't realize when the show is coming back on and miss a minute or five lol
I don't really understand all the hatred for regulation in the US. I'd love it if Canada would introduce the same sort of legislation up here. Isn't regulation designed to protect people not oppress them. If it had been in place regarding mortgages, derivatives trading and futures speculation then we probably wouldn't be living in this shit ass economy.
The reality is that corp america loves to promote deregulation because its in their interests. They can fuck around with people as much as they like and make as much money as possible ... then when it blows up in their faces they'll be standing at the gov'ts door asking for a handout.

Perhaps it is. Unfortunately, the result is oftentimes the latter.
Nope. That's the fault of deregulation. It's the fault of the Fed that flooded the market with cheap money and the government for guaranteeing all the loans through Fannie & Freddie. If the banks were on the hook for the money, they would have never made those loans (not to mention Moody's assigning the derivatives A+ credit).
The reality is that government oversteps it's boundaries set forth by the Constitution and fucks up everything in the process - whether it's intentional or an unintended consequence.
And then they overstep their boundaries again "fixing" the problem, and cause more unintended consequences. Some people get very wealthy exploiting those consequences.
Yeah, it's the annoying FUCKTARDS who make piece of shit intrusive, obnoxious, annoying, popover the fucking screen, noisy, etc. ads that drives people to install adblock and take impressions/clicks away from those of us with some nice helpful ads that most people don't mind seeing or clicking.
I have to shel out $$$ for this new spec of dail norm -27 vs my typical -10 mixes. Bah Humbug!

Anyone stream music on Slacker? I'm listening to music at a reasonable level at my desk all day, and then *bam*, an ad about triple the volume of my music in the most obnoxious Monster truck promo guy voice goes TROJAN CONDOMS, FIRE AND ICE, TROJAN TROJAN TROJAN - annoying as hell.
I highly doubt that overly loud ads help advertisers in any way - if anything, I would bet that there is a negative correlation between loud ads and a user's reception to them.

Yes I'm saying that the government certainly does not or even attempt to regulate online content anything like they regulate broadcast television.
Can't say I have any direct experience buying TV ads but it must be working otherwise they wouldn't do it.
hahahaha! But have you tried L3?
They work together. They purposely set the volume of the ads louder (actually the programs volume lower), that's the deal. To keep their advertisers happy, make more sales, order more ads. 30 seconds isn't a long time to grab ppl's attention, every bit helps, haha.
I hate it too tho'
You can run your TV through your hi-fi system and put a compressor on it, so all volume is equal, if you really wanted to.
Why are you guys wasting time watching T.V? There's nothing on but complete and utter shit. I hope advertisers increase the volume just to fuck with the feeble minded people watching that shitbox even more.
This ^ . The gubmint should also regulate all interwebz traffik because you fuckers cant be trusted with anything.
Bro that better go with porn too. I hate it when you're like in the fucking mood and you're waiting for your video to start and you're not paying attention then that fucking webcam popup fucking comes out of nowhere and the girl like screams something scared the shit out of you and gives you blueballs then you can't wank FML FML FML
I read somewhere that most TV networks already have regulations. but a lot of the advertisers get around that by adjusting pitches and such that make it sound much louder than it really it. I could be wrong
^This... I wasn't even aware anyone on this forum would watch TV... I was sitting here in utter amazement... Expecting a punchline or something... You guys really watch TV? With commercials in it?
I could understand a movie or something... Or even a DVD series of your favorite show... But you put up with commercials? Really?

Walking Walking Dead on my bigscreen relaxing on my couch is waaay better than hunching over my 19" computer monitor on an uncomfortable chair.
