Selenium scraping YouTube is a grind, but here’s my hack:
Use `driver.page_source` after waits to get the HTML, then parse with `BeautifulSoup`. Faster than waiting for every element.
For comments, sometimes you gotta refresh the page and retry. Annoying, but it’s YouTube’s fault.
Shadow DOM? Just ignore it unless you absolutely need it. Not worth the hassle.
