This project allows you to add comment, like or dislike YouTube videos based on a query.
If a video has already been liked or disliked, the script will just skip it and will not add comment on it.
Note that YouTube will limit the number of comments, like or dislike or query you can send and a 403 error will be raised when this limit is reached. More information here.
