YouTube's volume control is broken and they won't do anything about it

That's insane.
My sub's volume level is in increments of dB from -60 to 0.
PS: I was summarily banned from YT permanently without explanation or recourse. Something crazy like racism or other things they refused to disclose, and refused to show evidence. All of my subscriptions evaporated and now get a bunch of MGTOW and wacky pseudophilosopher/-scientist nonsense. Crock of crapola inverted totalitarian corporate feudal lords in action.

Just about everyone but Youtube understands this. The Windows, Android, Mac, iPhone volume controls all utilize a logarithmic scale for volume control, which means that the steps are fine-grained and consistent.
Youtube on the other hand insists on using a linear scale. If you use keyboard controls, the range from 50-100% only increases the perceived volume a little bit, while the steps from 0-5%, and 5-10% are too coarse to be useful. So I give up and just use the device volume controls instead. Trying to use the mouse is equally challenging, where even pixel level movements sometimes result in a drastic change in volume.
I had reported this as a suggestion a few years ago, but for a company that chooses not to respond to celebrities losing their Google accounts, you can guess where the suggestion was dumped. I just hope someone at Youtube sees this and finally fixes the issue!
