Run gYuBqeEjDoP8V29uB returned different (better) results, matching closer my own YouTube search. Why is this unreliable?
Hello and thank you for opening this issue.
In general, there is no guarantee that two searches are the exact same, that is because we have no way to know how Youtube prioritize the video to push out first, especially in the first 10 results on a relative niche search. Probably a bigger scrape (even just 20/30 items) will probably return more consistent runs, where you can also notice the unpredictability of the YouTube search algorithm (by confronting the order property we output with every video scraped).
Other factor may influence the search algorithm but it should be a small to no impact (the difference of the same search made by a user in LA and one in NY, there is no reason to think that the search would be vastly different).
Hope this clarifies a bit. I'll close this issue to avoid cluttering but feel free to ask more questions if you need to!
