Dated product check
A real retrieval, not a simulated testimonial.
In a live QA search on July 23, 2026, CommentFinder returned 10 top-level YouTube comments plus one nested reply. YouTube searches are now free, so they do not reduce the user's credit balance. Results vary by video and query.
What CommentFinder can access
YouTube must make the video and its comments public. Videos with comments disabled, private videos, deleted comments, and restricted discussions cannot be searched.
