Is Selenium Scraping YouTube Still Reliable? Any Recent Challenges? or Best Practices for Selenium Sc

I feel you! Selenium scraping youtube is like walking on eggshells. Two things that helped me:

1. Using selenium-wire to mock browser fingerprints.
2. Adding “organic” pauses (like waiting for specific elements to load, not just time.sleep()).

Also, avoid scraping popular vids—they’re more monitored. Niche content slips under the radar.
