> some ad at 200% volume Advertisers are shameless, and will exploit anything until they are smacked down by laws. Congress and the FCC had to step in and regulate commercials' volume on TV (https://www.fcc.gov/media/policy/loud-commercials https://www.fcc.gov/media/policy/loud-commercials), and I suspect the same will have to happen online as well. youtube-dl is the only thing that makes the site usable these days. It gets rid of ads and pop-ups, and decreases "engagement" by forcing you to copy the link over to the terminal to download and watch a video. It's even better than how people watched TV back in the day, by recording it to VHS tapes, then fast-forward through the ads.
