Fortunately many audio providers now have been fighting back against this. For instance YouTube will punish video uploads that are louder than -13 LUFS by attenuating the level. This will provide a somewhat level playing field and encourage people to upload with a reasonable dynamic range.

And some others are going full retard. Some streaming services actually add compression to everything…

Ideally compression could be left for the end device. CyanogenMod has for a long time had compression control in settings. I can understand why some compression is useful, but it is a shame for the streaming provider to do this since information gets lost in compression.
