When I'm writing webscrapers I mostly just pivot between selenium (because the website is too "fancy" and definitely needs a browser) and pure requests calls (both in conjunction with bs4).

But when reading about scrapers, scrapy is often the first mentioned Python package. What am I missing out on if I'm not using it?

I realized I interacted / posted / commented less and less on reddit these last couple of years. Couldn't even tell you why exactly. Now I've been here for a week and, I don't know, I just like interacting again... Hope it stays like this for a while :)

also its not just pure "compatibility", but I had a time when I played vids to my TV over an old laptop (from around 2015). Worked like a charm. But some x265 vids went into full-on stutter mode in scenes where a lot of stuff was happening... was more a nuisance than a dealbreaker, but still, preferred x264 versions if I could get them
