The money grab for monetizing everything has ruined entertainment.
In the late 1970's overseas AFRTS had a "level devil" on their feed to prevent the blaring commercials. It's not hard to do. Advertisers here put the kibosh on volume level control because they wanted to wake up grandpa on the sofa when their commercials came on. I remember that we once had a TV that had a volume level limiter control option in the sound menu.

Our TV had knobs and the control mechanism was us kids!
