Hey WSJ, your team needs to learn how to export video for RUclips because you clearly don't know how. Right-click on this video and select "Stats for Nerds". From there, you will see that RUclips measures the audio in this video as 8.1 dB too quiet. That's way too quiet. In fact, the problem is wildly obvious in nearly every video on your channel. The problem is so obvious that it makes me question whether your team even reviews the videos you post after they are uploaded. It makes your team look like amateurs.
I am unsubscribing because I have no interest in constantly adjusting the volume on my device to hear your sub-par videos. I hope someone on your team knows how to use Google so you can fix this extremely simple problem.
