Specific channel is causing the crawler to fail

For some reason there is one channel I've found that the crawler is unable to process, throwing a repeating error when it tries to reach the /about page. I've attached the crawl log -- I haven't seen this error with any other channel I've tried to scrape.

Hi, thanks for submitting this! We're tracking this issue and working on it. This is related to recent changes on YT's side regarding bot protection and we'll try to roll out a fix in the following days
