click video only if selector text is present - Puppeteer NodeJS

I have a code snippet that once goes to a youtube link, it gets videos to comment on by getting the links and then opening them in a new tab. I'm trying to get it to be so that it only gets the video link and comments if this selector is present and has the text of it say a number less than 5. (uploaded [5 - 1 minute(s)/second(s)] ago), if there aren't any videos that suitable, then the page will reload after 10seconds, and try again until 3 total videos have been found (over the time of running the script).

I tried using catching but it doesn't work as I don't exactly understand how to do this very well in my situation.

here is the selector of the time uploaded ago (as defined):

uploadedago : "#metadata-line > span:nth-child(4)",

(that's in another file called "constants>selector>index.js".)

here is the code that I'm working with:

// times the selector must say on the page
const uploadtimes = ("5 minutes", "4 minutes", "3 minutes", "2 minutes", "1 minute", "seconds", "seconds")

         try
         {
            if (tweet.includes("shorts"))
            {
               await pages.goto(tweet.replace(/shorts/, "watch"));
            }
            else
            {
               // console.log(tweet);
               await pages.goto(tweet);
            }
            try
            {
               await likeVideos.likeVideos(pages);
            }
            catch (error)
            {
               console.log(error);
            }
            await pages.bringToFront();
            await pages.waitForTimeout(4000);
            await pages.evaluate(() =>
            {
               window.scrollBy(0, 550);
            });

            try
            {
               await pages.waitForSelector(selector.catchErrorInComment,
               {
                  timeout: 4000
               });
               console.log("Can't Comment");

               await pages.close();
            }
            catch
            {
               await pages.waitForSelector(selector.inputComment,
               {
                  timeout: 4000,
               });

               await pages.evaluate(() =>
               {
                  document.querySelector('#simplebox-placeholder').click();
               });
               spinners.update('comment',
               {
                  text: 'collecting comments to copy .. ',
                  color: 'yellow',
               });

               if (config.copycomment && config.ai == false) 
               {
                  await copycommnet.copyComment(pages, spinners, config);
               }else if(config.ai){
                  await aiCommented.createComments(pages , spinners ,title, config)
               }
               else if(!config.copycomment && !config.ai)
               {
                  await manualComment.manualComment(pages, spinners, config);
               }else{
                  console.log(" Check Your Configuration")
               }
               await pages.waitForTimeout(config.delay * 1000);
               await pages.close();
               spinners.succeed('comment',
               {
                  text: 'Success commenting',
                  color: 'yellow',
               });
               Logger.log('./logs/succesCommenting.log', config.usernamegoogle, tweet, 'success')
            }
         }
         catch (e)
         {
            await pages.close();
      
               Logger.log('./logs/errorCommenting.log', config.usernamegoogle, tweet, 'failed', e)
          
         }
         await wait(config.delay);
      }

      spinners.add('delay',
      {
         text: `wait .. we are delaying for ${config.delaycomment}`,
         color: 'yellow',
      });
   }
   spinners.add('done',
   {
      text: `COMMENTS ADDED, FINISHING UP ..`,
      color: 'green',
   });
   await browser.close();
}

startApp(config, Config(paths,config,executablePath("chrome")));

function readLog()
{
   const data = fs.readFileSync('./logs/succesCommenting.log', 'utf8');
   return data;
}

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
