Note to Biden camp: YouTube TV ads have little/no sound, wasting funds!

I hope somebody in the Biden campaign sees this, or this gets passed on to them. With all ads on YouTube TV (not regular YouTube), Biden's ads and all others, the sound is barely audible (at least that is what I and a friend who also has YouTube TV hear). I have seen dozens of Biden's ads here in Florida and the volume is barely above mute, and not even audible without turning up my sound system's volume more than double to hear the ads, which would then cause me to get blasted to death with volume when other programming would resume.

I'm not referring to ads run on a network or a station, the volume of which is normal. I am talking about the ads YouTube TV itself broadcasts using their portion of the advertising inventory (this is just like the ad inventory cable systems use to show local ads).

I hope the Biden camp sees this and takes care of it.....since all ads run by YouTube TV using their inventory have an almost indistinguishable level of volume, they may have to move the funds to other venues if it cannot be fixed very quickly.

It would be nice to keep this kicked in hopes that the campaign or someone close to it will see this information.
