Best Practices for Using yt-dlp to Scrape Videos with a Proxy? Tips & Recommendations Needed!

Yo, I’ve been using yt dlp scrape videos proxy with residential proxies from GeoSurf. They’re a bit pricey but worth it for avoiding blocks.

I rotate proxies every 50 requests and use `--proxy` with a list file. Also, adding `--sleep-interval` helps space out requests and avoid detection.

VPNs are overkill unless you’re dealing with super strict blocks.
