The advantage of scraping is that it can’t be really blocked if you make your private instance and you don’t have to follow API ToS, the disadvantage is that it can easily break with little changes of the Youtube UI.
That’s true and I remember that it happened once, but was quickly patched.
I’ll use it as long as I can, because the experience on the actualy UI is really bad IMO. Advertisment for scams, algorithms that help radicalizing you, not being logged in gets punished with repetitive popups, bad performance, lots of bots and trolls in the comments, etc. When reading what I just wrote, I should probably donate more money for the project…
