Same photo, but I used an Instagram filter at the time:

Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

I HATE iheart radio if only because of the ads, I love a lot of the content but I would take the full force of the monkey's paw to the face to get rid of them
I worked as a board op when I was there. If I had the chance, I dropped audio levels by 5-10dB for commercials.
uh ... that's a lot, nobody noticed?
No one said anything. And considering how loud they often are, it really wasn't that much.
Why are you lying about this?
I'm not.
You just told me 5-10 dB isn't much - you're completely full of shit about all of this.
5-10 db isn't that much.

dB is a logarithmic scale: a 3 dB change represents a doubling or halving of power, and a 10 dB change is perceived as roughly twice or half as loud. A 5-10 dB cut would be highly noticeable, especially in tightly regulated environments like studios. To claim otherwise is inconsistent with basically everything relevant to this discussion.
I'm aware.
When I lowered the gain from 5-10dB, it wasn't a huge change.
I listened to a couple IHR podcasts, got supremely sick of the ads and deleted both of them. Now I watch to see the source of new subs and don't bother if it's IHeart.
I agree on the podcast front, and what makes it worse it's for their own podcasts which aren't generating them any revenue so why have 5 minutes of ads 3 x per show for your own stuff. Not unless the other podcasts generate revenue through ads, but I doubt it, just getting you used to it for when it becomes a Black Mirror episode and you must watch your ads as prescribed by the government (aka business).
it's really a great bonus of knowledge fight, I can catch up on old episodes going from opening to closing to opening with no ads
