Theoretically they might be able to, but it would be a very difficult case fought against a massive corporation. I doubt they'd consider it worth the trouble and legal fees, especially given there's no guarantee of winning.

Easily one of my favourite episodes in years. I'm a sucker for creepy monsters, cosmic horrors and monsters whose origins are only vaguely hinted at and this had all of that. Overall much more polished, better-paced and intriguing to me than The Star Beast (which I still liked!). This was Doctor Who back at its best for me.
Somehow, Altman returned.
Oh, so it's shit in the way I originally thought, then.
And also shit in the second way I thought, since adblock is a symptom of how terrible they've made the experience on their platform and if they want less people to use it they should make that experience more reasonable.
Given the shit big companies have got up to in the past and continue to get up to, as exposed in past and ongoing antitrust cases, that conspiracy theory you mention really isn't all that unrealistic. Yeah, it's not what happened in this case and it isn't the simplest solution, but it's absolutely a believable thing for YouTube to do, though I think they would have hidden it better if they had.
Ah, I was wondering why YouTube was taking so long to load recently. I thought it was just because their code was shit, and it turns out I was right, but not in the way I thought.

Still needs to be checked over to make sure it didn't get anything wrong. In my experience the mistakes AI make with monospace fonts tend to be very awkward to notice (like 1 and l and I and | being interchanged), so I'd have to go over with a fine tooth comb which, for me, since I type quickly, isn't noticeably faster and is a lot more boring.

[Transcriber's note: the first line in the following transcription is incorrect. After the equals, there should be eight instances of the word "Option", each succeeded by a less-than symbol, then two brackets, like ()
, before the first greater-tha symbol. However, if you type a less-than symbol on Lemmy, it seems to strip that symbol and whatever word comes next out of the source when you save the comment.]
type Wtf = Option>>>>>>>;
let two = Some(Some(Some(Some(Some(Some(None))))));
let three = Some(Some(Some(Some(Some(None)))));
let six = Some(Some(None));
unsafe {
assert_eq!(
std::mem::transmute::(two) * std::mem::transmute::(three)
std::mem::transmute::(six)
);
}

I'm also experiencing this problem, however I don't see anything about being blocked by Cloudfare. What I do see in the network tools is that on the image's POST request, Lemmy is returning a 400 (Bad Request) error. Issue is happening on both the normal Lemmy UI and the Photon UI.
If one does ever get created, I'll definitely try and remember to ping you!
To answer your edit questions, which I've just seen:
-
The original r/TranscribersOfReddit (ToR) was run by an actual non-profit organisation (the Grafeas Group) with a lot of infrastructure built up to support it and keep it running smoothly. When Reddit's API changes happened, we didn't have the resources to move the project somewhere else (and nowhere else was as dreadfully inaccessible as Reddit), so we were essentially forced to shut it down. The communities that exist on Lemmy aren't coordinated, they're just people who used to be part of ToR doing transcriptions in their free time, in a capacity not associated with the Grafeas Group. As such, there isn't really a way to coordinate them.

I just sort by new on the communities I'm subscribed to.

I don't use a screen reader but l do know the answer to this -- alt text on the image is a much better route to go when you have the option, as it means people can find the transcription right next to the image instead of looking for it in the comments. Helping people find our transcriptions in the comments was a challenge on Reddit.
Definitely seems like Djokovic had reduced movement; I think that was why he was coming to the net so much this match & the whole tournament really. Seems like he wanted shorter points, but Alcaraz just blasted passing shots, and Djokovic volleys weren't good today.
Alcaraz played so well though I agree, even without the knee I couldn't see Djokovic beating him today.
