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.

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.]

let two = Some(Some(Some(Some(Some(Some(None))))));

Thanks! Not sure if there’s been other people doing any or not, but for my part I just do them when I find the time, which unfortunately isn’t all that often.

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”.]

The third shows a holder with no toilet roll or cardboard tube on it at all. Its text reads, “null”.
The fourth shows no holder; simply plain wall. Its text reads, “undefined”.]
