The YouTube app on our Sony TV kills me. Out of a variety of apps installed (Netflix, HBO, Disney, Apple, Prime) it's the only one that we need to adjust volume for EVERY SINGLE TIME because they decided 15 should be loud vs 30 on all the other apps. Especially frustrating when a lot of the time the first play experience in YouTube is being blasted with some kind of rapid-fire ad sequence.

Same on AppleTV, YouTube is louder than everything else except for Spotify which is even louder.
I've been resisting the urge to splurge on an Apple TV to try and solve this particular problem. Useful to know!
Don't know about the volume difference. But haven't seen any yt ads in a long time thanks to SmartTube: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube
