Do you have any reason for not [using YouTube Data API v3](https://stackoverflow.com/a/27872244)? — Benjamin Loison, Nov 08 '22 at 07:35

Maybe it would be easier to [get the channel `uploads` playlist id and retrieve its content](https://stackoverflow.com/a/27872244). — Benjamin Loison, Nov 08 '22 at 10:58

It was a bug in a consent line in youtube that is fixed in version 2.3.1 of scrapetube. I suggest you uninstall any version <= 2.3.0 and install the latest one. That should do it.
