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

Lazy loading is the worst. For selenium scraping youtube, I inject JS to force-load all elements before scraping:

```javascript
document.querySelectorAll('ytd-video-renderer').forEach(el => el.scrollIntoView());
```

Works 70% of the time. Other 30%? CAPTCHA hell.

Try ScraperAPI too—they handle retries and headers for you.
