so what should i do

I have updated the README.md. Please refresh the repository if you are viewing on GitHub. You will need git to clone the repository.

If you do not have git (the command line tool), please download the Youtube-view-bot as a .zip file and extract the .zip file

python main.py

Please refer to the Downloading Dependencies section of the README.md to install the required dependencies.

• The youtube-view-bot is dependent on a separate library called webdriver_manager

[gavintranquilino]

I personally do not have a working list of proxies that YouTube does not block, but there are rolling releases out there with a quick web search honestly.

I see, this might be due to a newer version of Python and no longer uses the distutils library.

Can you comment the output of the following command if you can? It will tell me the version of Python installed:

python -V

Once you have the version can you try installing the setuptools library?

pip install setuptools

If that doesn’t solve it, try:

pip install setuptools wheel

Python 3.13.7 i still got the error

[gavintranquilino]

Python 3.13.7 i still got the error

Still the same error after pip install setuptools?

[gavintranquilino]

Python 3.13.7 i still got the error

Just do then pip install webdriver-manager requests selenium.

Let me know if this works instead. Do not install from requirements.txt. I believe that the libraries listed there are outdated then
