Youtube Uploader

Handles the full YouTube upload flow from authentication to publishing. You get OAuth2 setup, then upload videos with titles, descriptions, tags, privacy settings, and even custom thumbnails. Works for regular videos and Shorts. The category ID table is handy since YouTube's categories aren't obvious. Daily quota is around 6 videos, so this isn't for bulk uploading, but for regular content publishing it's solid. The dry run flag is a nice touch so you don't waste quota on test uploads.
