great error message: "element is not clickable at this point"

it actually means Chrome can't move a virtual mouse cursor over the element and click it, like woah

Instagram is a fuck

Like, when you view a video, it shows views, not likes, and to see likes you have to click on the view count

Apparently, I can't automate that?

update: python3 apparently has unicode as the default strings, my error was that I was trying to encode them in unicode when they already were that and the surrounding code would eat the error message

@jk @sara oh god this reminds me of a loriot sketch that's just "we are now showing the new release of ultra-widescreen film, which depicts the 100m run in its entirety on a super-wide screen, adapted for tv" and then they just show a three lines high picture in which you can almost make out the runners advancing on the track, with enthusiastic sports commentary

can someone please make Python but with proper unicode handling…

I mean, one of them will fix typos and replace "his/her" with "their" in the comments but still
