Having issues using puppeteer on youtube

I'm trying to write a scraper using puppeteer that logs each superchat(and super thanks eventually) posted in a youtube videos live stream.

Here is my current code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer')
const fs = require("fs/promises")

async function start() {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch()
    const page = await browser.newPage()
    await page.goto("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ykh6t3mec0")

    const superchats = await page.evaluate(() => {
        return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('#purchase-amount-chip')).map(x => x.textContent)
    })
    await fs.writeFile("superchats.txt", superchats.join('\r\n'))
    await browser.close()
}

start()

This seems to work on other websites but youtube is very odd. Not sure what the issue is to be honest.
