ELI5: Why does the volume slider in online video players make such a small difference?

I noticed a recurring pattern when I'm watching online videos and I want to reduce the volume, I have to put the slider all the way down to 5-10% (down from 100%) before I notice a real difference.

Check your volume mixer settings to see if your browser volume is at %100 first. Second many places such as YouTube have a vested interest in making sure their videos are heard because of advertising revenue so they operate their volume off of a curve rather than an actual scale.
