California Passes Law Banning Loud Commercials On Streaming Services

Youtube is the worst about this.

Maybe Bill Maher is right: the California state bureaucracy can't do a damn thing about the homeless, or sky high taxes or high crime rates, but they sure as hell can do bullshit like regulate the volume on TV commercials.

Now can we ban them at the gas pump?

I pay extra for the few streaming services I pay for so I don't have to see commercials.

This annoys the crap out of me. I set my TV at a volume that is comfortable to me. The second a commercial comes on that blasts the volume, I immediately silence the TV. This kind of defeats the "purpose" as I don't hear the commercial at all. Besides the fact that I am rarely interested in anything advertised by commercial anyways.

Yes, because those issues are all equal in scope.

...as opposed to our federal "government" that does absolutely nothing and is currently shut down at the moment with no plan in place.

I was just thinking they needed built in commercial noise buffering in remotes
