>No, adblockers became popular because ads kept getting more loud (both visually and audibly),

Too bad the FCC's CALM act can't be applied to the internet as well: "The CALM Act applies only to commercials aired on television—it does not apply to radio commercials or commercials aired on the internet or via streaming services."

The FCC cannot regulate internet communications, by law. That's not the proper agency. Maybe the FTC or maybe a new federal law.

Like I said, it's too bad. Doesn't matter the hows and whys of the fact.
