Update (March 2026): The selector in the post above has also stopped working — PAmodern_transcript_view no longer appears in YouTube’s DOM. Two things changed: the target-id value, and the transcript text is now in .segment-text elements rather than span.yt-core-attributed-string. Standalone snippet:
{{selectorHtml:ytd-engagement-panel-section-list-renderer[target-id="engagement-panel-searchable-transcript"] .segment-text|replace:" ":" "|join|markdown}}
