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

I’ve been using yt dlp scrape videos proxy with datacenter proxies from MyPrivateProxy. They’re reliable and affordable for most scraping tasks.

I rotate proxies every 100 requests and use `--proxy` with a list file. Also, adding `--retries` and `--fragment-retries` helps with failed downloads.

VPNs are unnecessary unless you’re scraping super sensitive content.
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.
