I used Lindy to scrape a YouTube channel (717 videos). The AI told me the scraper was “running” and kept giving me time estimates (5–15 min, then 5–10 min).
But when I pushed, the AI admitted the truth:
It had no visibility into whether the scraper was working.
It couldn’t see how many videos were processed.
It couldn’t prove anything was happening.
All its updates were just assumptions — basically a bluff.
I lost credits and got zero results back.
