[b]"Is Selenium Scraping YouTube Still Reliable? Any Recent Challenges?"[/b] or [b]"Best Practices for Selenium Sc

Honestly? Selenium scraping youtube isn’t worth it anymore unless you’re masochistic. Switched to YouTube’s API + scraping via httpx (Python). Faster, fewer bans.

But if you’re stuck with selenium, try this:
- Disable WebDriver flag
- Use Chrome profiles
- Add human-like jitter to clicks

Still a pain, but manageable for small projects.
