YouTube Comment Analyzer
How to Analyze the Comments of a YouTube Video
- Paste a video link or ID into the box above: full watch URLs, youtu.be short links, Shorts links, and bare 11-character video IDs all work.
- Click "Analyze" and give the tool up to a minute: it fetches hundreds of top-level comments through the official YouTube API and runs them through AI analysis.
- Read the report. You get a verdict paragraph, a counted sentiment breakdown, the main themes viewers talk about with a real top quote for each, and, when found, viewer requests and signs of a split audience.
- Check the reception numbers. The header shows likes and an estimated dislike count from the Return YouTube Dislike project, the only way to see dislikes since YouTube hid them.
- Switch the report language if needed. By default the report is written in the video’s own language; the switcher re-renders it in English, Russian, Spanish, German, French or Portuguese in seconds. Quotes always stay in their original language.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the YouTube comment analyzer work?
The tool fetches up to 500 top-level comments through the official YouTube API, ordered by relevance. An AI model reads every comment and tags its sentiment, theme and special traits; all the numbers you see (percentages, theme sizes, the toxicity level) are then counted by plain code over those tags, and the quotes are copied word for word from the real comments. The AI writes only the prose: the verdict, the theme names and the polarization summary. That split keeps the numbers honest: the AI cannot invent a statistic.
Can I read the report in my language?
Yes. By default the report comes in the language of the video itself: a Russian video gets a Russian report, a Spanish video a Spanish one. The language switcher inside the widget re-renders the same analysis in any of the six supported languages without re-reading the comments, so it takes seconds. This makes the tool useful for studying the audience of videos in languages you do not speak. Quoted comments are never translated: you always see what the viewer actually wrote.
Where do the dislike numbers come from?
YouTube removed public dislike counts in 2021, so the tool shows an estimate from the Return YouTube Dislike project, which extrapolates from the votes of its extension users and archived data. It is an estimate, not an exact figure, and some videos are missing from it; when the data is unavailable the report simply appears without the dislike line. The like/dislike ratio next to the comment tone is context no plain comment reader gives you.
How many comments does it analyze?
Up to 500 top-level comments per video, the ones YouTube ranks most relevant. That is an order of magnitude more than typical free analyzers, which stop at 30 to 100. Replies are not fetched. The report header always tells you the honest base: "based on N of M comments", where M is the video’s full comment count.
Why did I get the same report twice?
Finished reports are kept for about a week, so repeating an analysis of the same video returns the stored report instantly instead of burning another full analysis. Comments drift over time, and after the storage period expires the next request regenerates the report from fresh comments. The report always shows when it was generated.
Is the comment analyzer free? How many analyses do I get?
Yes, it’s free and needs no account. Each analysis costs real AI compute, so there is a daily allowance: anonymous visitors get 3 analyses a day, and a free Tube Search account raises the limit substantially. The counter resets at midnight UTC. Reports served from storage also count toward the allowance.
