I will take a look on it tomorrow and update if needed :)

`# Lets wait for comment box
WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "comment-section-renderer")))

# Activate box for comments
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@id='comment-section-renderer']/div/div[2]/div").click()`

What can we write instead of 'comment-section-renderer' now? I think it changed but I can't find what to put instead.

I think the comment-section-renderer step is broken, I believe the element ID has changed. Any luck getting it to click the box?

Also, I can't reach the password field.

ElementNotInteractableException: Element

is not reachable by keyboard

Does this still work ???

not orking

I'd love an update to this. Thanks!

Same here
