I can completely relate. I personally like the idea of Hulu's Ad Tailor and Ad Swap because I was getting so fed up with seeing the same commercials over and over again. Especially the ones for "life after meth". It got to a point where either Hulu created the ad-swap program, or me taking up a meth addiction, just so the ads would have relevance. I mean how bad could a meth addiction be anyway? It's not like I could die or anything, because the name of the organization is "LIFE after meth", and did you see the lives of those former addicts? All with loving happy families and kids, coaching baseball, or going out to dinner. I almost can't wait to start meth just knowing how much better my life will be after it!   See 6 other replies

You people have missed the point as to why the volume of commercials is louder than the show or movie you're watching. It's because on average, most people tend to use commercial breaks to get up and leave the room (i.e. use the restroom or grab a snack) so advertisers crank up the volume so the commercials can scream their message at you from across the house, or rattle you where you sit. It has nothing to do with the producer of the TV show or movie, but the producer of the commercial itself. Been happening with regular television for years. Normalizing the audio to the loudest point in movies makes sense, because movies were made with theater audio systems in mind.   See 6 other replies

Can I see the Straw dogs commercial again I've only seen it fifty friggin times today, I've seen it so many times that if somebody gave me the movie I would throw it in the trash.   See 6 other replies

It's an unfortunate thing yes, but when mixing audio the producer of the movie/T.V. show tends to normalize the audio to the loudest point in the audio. Older shows tend to have dramatic crescendo's at various points in the episode, whereas the commercials are like that all the way through. And I'm not sticking up for Hulu in general, but if they turned down the commercials, the advertisers would pull those commercials, stop giving Hulu add money, and Hulu will have to switch to Pornagraphy and Mall viruses to make their bread.   See 6 other replies
