      Like the US. But it only applies to old school TV, not streaming services, and doesn’t even seem to be enforced well where it does apply

    Dialogue at the top.

    Action at the bottom.

    Can’t hear anything that is said but then the action makes you scramble for the remote.

    Bad mix.

      Can also be bad speaker setup/settings with a weaker middle speaker or that channel set to being quieter than the others.

    It’s like some sort of bizzaro meme, made by a Gen Alpha teen who has lived a week in 1995 and has to deal with the hassle of TV commercials, but doesn’t know what an iPod is (which is the “remote” in this picture).

    See also: the Some More News podcast.

    It’s like Cody, Katy (and Jonathan is also there) are having a quiet conversation and then the advertisers burst in wielding a bullhorn set to max.

    Good thing AntennaPod makes skipping the ads easy, otherwise I’d have to avoid the show completely.
