Yo, I’ve been using brightdata yt-dlp for a project, and it’s been working great. One thing to watch out for is the proxy rotation settings. Brightdata has a feature where you can set up automatic rotation, which helps avoid getting blocked by YouTube.

Also, if you’re scraping metadata, make sure you’re using the `--write-info-json` flag to save all the details.
Hey! I’ve been using brightdata yt-dlp for a while now, and it’s been pretty solid. One thing that helped me was using the `--retries` flag to handle failed requests. YouTube can be unpredictable, so having a few retries built in can save you a lot of headaches.

Also, if you’re still having trouble, maybe try using a different proxy provider like Oxylabs or Smartproxy. They’ve got some good options for YouTube scraping too.
