Normalize audio for ads to be consistent with that of the streamer
Viewers in my stream enjoy a relaxing experience until an ad drops and they're blasted with audio that is at such a high volume that the stream is completely unwatchable. As a test, I viewed my own stream and ran an ad to see what they were talking about and agreed that the ad audio was obscenely loud. When ads run, they should be at the same loudness as or lower than that of the streamer.
One might say "just turn yourself up" but I would say "no, it's my stream and people who watch it like it the way it is." I sometimes run a news segment where I'm talking a lot and like my stream audio to be a flat mix where my voice rests calmly on top of smooth (copyright friendly) Lo-Fi beats. When that is interrupted by obnoxious ads for laundry detergent or taco bell, it ruins the whole vibe.
I really don't care about subscribers right now because I need to grow my community and wish I could just turn off ads completely but if I have to deal with advertising, please at least make it less malicious.
