But I have to ask: Do many of the commercials have extra-loud audio? It's annoying enough that I have to turn up the volume to hear the show, but then I get pummeled every time there's a break. And it's not just on the TPIR channel; the main Buzzr channel does the same thing to me. (Some of the ads appear to be inserted based on one's location, so maybe it's not universal.)

It’s not just you.
I submitted a comment on Pluto’s website and I got some BS response about a ticket being closed and issue resolved.

Definitely a Pluto thing. I reach for the remote on a regular basis, including just now, during a local law firm commercial that seemed to escalate in volume during the actual commercial. I guess the FCC rules about commercial volumes don't apply to streaming.
Kevin Prather:
Pluto is free, right? Just installed the app yesterday to check out the channel, and haven't done any research into it yet.
BrandonFG:
Yep. It's free.

I have a TCL TV that has a setting that balances out the loud spots and/or music cues with the audio of the actual programming, so I don't notice it on that TV. On my other TV, though...
^^Kevin: Yes, Pluto is a free TV app.
