You should sign up for PACER. It's easy (although the web interface is horrible) and costs basically nothing at the scale you'd be using it at. It's one of those things you won't use often but you'll be happy you set it up, like, a couple times a year.

Most of the cases I'm interested in, someone has already signed up for PACER and added them to courtlistener by the time I get to it. Or it's a SCOTUS case and the entire docket is accessible for free on supremecourt.gov :-)

It was the same for me, but I like it when I can grab something that hasn't hit Courtlistener yet for, like, 50 cents. :)
It's a good message board power-up, I guess.
Of the stuff I see on court listener:
* 3 don't have documents available (and I'm not going to bother signing up for PACER just to find out)
* 1 has a claim predicated on "I could have bought or shorted GME" (yeah, not gonna fly)
* 1 has a claim predicated on "the value of GME stock fell, causing me loss" (doesn't mention if the stock was actually sold, so it's purely paper loss, so really not gonna fly)
* 1 has a claim predicated on "I tried to buy, but couldn't" (best chance of succeeding, but I think they're still screwed anyways)
