NoobDev EP02 | Making a YouTube Viewbot | Web Automation using Selenium | Python Tutorial

In this video I tried making a YouTube viewbot using Python and Selenium that will watch a link on repeat for a specified amount of time.
Bot behaviour is (hopefully) avoided using randomized seeks.
Leave it overnight and see the results for yourself.
