There's laws dictacting ads for TV, one of them was raising the volume for ads, the other was banning increasing the loudness of the ad to have the same effect as raising the volume without raising the volume. I presume these all apply - or should apply - to YT and co as well.

It's not enough of course.

Anyway, ads being annoying and disruptive is the point, they want to sell premium subscriptions because a steady $10 a month on a subscription often forgotten about for years is more valuable and profitable to them than showing ads. (I presume)
