thank you. You nailed the actual value, that's right. The real win is just knowing you can do this on a laptop CPU, offline, no GPU or cloud bill. There are tiny done-for-you details, like rescaling token timestamps back to real time after the atempo speedup so --timestamps doesn't lie to you, but they are minor.

I see the value as a centralized anti-content-blocker.

This repo is now a good way to centralize hacks around the sure-to-come blockers those platforms will add to prevent download.

Just like uBlockOrigin was a way to centralize all the "just run this greasemonkey script" comments, I can see this getting a huge following for people who really value transcriptions.
