For beginners, web scraping in R is all about patience. Start with `rvest`, but know its limits.

Selector issues? Use `SelectorGadget` or just brute-force with `stringr:Confusedtr_extract()` if HTML is predictable.

403 errors? Welcome to the club. Sometimes you just gotta respect the site’s limits.

And no, rvest isn’t dead—it’s just not for every job.
