Migration Guide

List of breaking changes on v1:

1. youtubei now requires Node version >= 16
2. ChannelCompact renamed to BaseChannel
3. Comment#isPinnedComment renamed to Comment#isPinned
4. Client constructor parameters changes:
   1. cookie renamed to initialCookie
   2. requestOptions changed to fetchOptions (which is a node-fetch request options)
   3. https removed
5. Remove URL support from Client#getVideo and Client#getPlaylist, you will have to extract video / playlist id from URL string before passing it
6. SearchResult now is a Continuable (look below)
7. Continuable implementations. All .next*() methods in all classes will be removed (e.g. Channel#nextVideos, Channel#nextPlaylists, or Video#nextComments), and the property used to store fetched data (e.g Channel.videos, Channel.playlists, or Video.comments) will be replaced with a Continuable. Instead of doing:

   
   await channel.nextVideos();
   await channel.nextPlaylists();
   await video.nextComments();

console.log(channel.videos, channel.playlists, video.comments);

on v1:
```ts
await channel.videos.next();
await channel.playlists.next();
await video.comments.next();

console.log(channel.videos.items, channel.playlists.items, video.comments.items);
