Open the viewerPaste a public YouTube link to read the thread, search it by keyword or by the person who wrote it, and take it out as CSV or JSON. Paste ten and they come back as one ZIP.
Nothing to install and no extension to add. Paste a link, search the whole thread, then take the slice you need out as a file. Every screenshot below is this app; the numbered badge marks the element that step uses.
Any watch URL, share link or bare 11-character video ID works. The video, its coverage and a real slice of the thread come back straight away — no account, and nothing is saved yet.
Then press Read all comments

Open batch exportWhat a thread actually means — the themes, the disagreements, and what is worth answering next. Every claim carries the comments behind it.
Open the analysisNo black box and no hidden columns. Here is what an export contains, and the little that stays with us afterwards.
text · author · likes · replies · published — the same header on every file, so two exports can be concatenated without editing.
Expand a comment's replies into the file, or keep it flat at one row per comment. It is a switch on the export, not a different tool.
The file name carries the video ID, so an export always points back to the thread it came from. Files expire after 24 hours.
Every read goes to YouTube live. Your history keeps one entry per video — that row and the file itself are all we hold.
COVERAGE & LIMITS
