Imagine seeing ads…
Me every year at super bowl time: ❔
I still don’t get the people who say they are going to watch the Super Bowl for the ads, then the day after the game they’re bitching about how terrible the ads were.

Wowsers!
They say “average” volume. What do they mean by that? Or, more precisely, how are they measuring that? RMS? LUFS?
Probably LUFS, but even with LUFS there are ways to make perceived volume louder while remaining within a threshold
Now do broadcast TV.
That was passed federally in 2010 under the CALM Act
Oh wow. In that case it is definitely not being followed on my local stations.
I feel MAD Magazine was already lampooning loud ads in the 1960s… plus ca change
Focusing on the real problems of our time
Didn’t takeaway from anything else to do this. Grow up.
How many times do we have to get laws like this passed?
I swear I feel like all consumer protections have just been thrown out.
