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.

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.
Neither, it’ll be included as-is without a [sic]. I follow the guidelines of r/TranscribersOfReddit, since they were developed in cooperation with members of rBlind.
The policy there was always that doing any sort of change affects the message and delivery fo the original content, so it should be avoided. [sic]s are avoided because they affect the flow of the content, and particularly in posts with multiple typos they can be very distracting.

In the image, he is leaning towards a control panel to push a button whilst looking right towards something off-frame with large, innocent eyes. Text at the top and bottom of the image reads:]

At the top is an octagonal sign, filled red with a white outline, reading “STOP”. Beneath it is a rectangular sign with an arrow pointing up to the stop sign, and text reading “THIS IS A STOP SIGN”.]

This, all of this. Meta is the one company I really manage to completely shut out of my life, partially through use of extensions like Facebook Container and partially through simply never interacting with anything I see from them. I’m on places like Lemmy because I want nothing to do with these huge corporations, because they always bring nothing but corruption and exploitation.

[The screenshot is from a GitHub commit summary. It is zoomed in to show just the tab headers for the “Checks” tab and the “Files changed” tab. The “Checks” tab has a number 1 next to it, and the “Files changed” tab has an infinity sign next to it.]
