Brightdata’s scraping tools are powerful but finicky. Reddit especially will block you if you’re not careful.
I ended up combining it with Puppeteer for some jobs. Worked better but was a hassle.
If you want simplicity, try Outscraper. Not as feature-rich but gets the job done.

Brightdata’s youtube scraping is reliable if you’re patient. Reddit’s a nightmare though.
Their docs say to use rotating proxies, but even then, I got blocked constantly.
For Reddit, I’d recommend just using their API if possible. Or try SerpAPI for a no-code option.
