YouTube Comment Miner
Your next video idea is probably already sitting in your comments. Paste a video or channel link and see what viewers keep asking for, grouped, in their own words.
What you get
Grouped requests
Five to ten groups, ranked by how many comments landed in each, each one named as a request you could turn into a video.
Real comments as evidence
Two or three verbatim comments behind every group, each linked to the video it was left on. Nothing paraphrased.
A dated snapshot
Every result is stamped with the day its comments were read, and gets its own link you can share or come back to.
What this is not
Commenters are a small, self-selected slice of an audience. These groups describe what some people wrote under these videos, which is a useful place to look for ideas and not a measurement of demand. Read them, then decide for yourself.
Common questions
The basics most creators ask before pasting a link.
What does the Comment Miner actually do?
You paste a YouTube video link or a channel link. It reads the public comments, groups them into the requests and questions viewers are making, and shows you real comments behind each group. Every quote is copied word for word from a comment we read.
Does it work on a whole channel?
Yes. Paste a channel link or an @handle and it reads the comments on the five most recent long-form uploads. Paste a single video link and it reads only that video.
Is it free?
Yes, and there is no signup. You get 3 mines per day from one connection.
Can I use it on a channel that is not mine?
Yes. It only reads comments that are already public on YouTube. A creator who has asked us not to analyze their channel is excluded.
Are the quotes real?
Every quote is checked against the comments we fetched before it is shown. If a quote cannot be found word for word in a real comment, the group it belongs to is dropped rather than shown with a loosened quote.
What do the numbers next to each group mean?
That is how many of the comments we read were placed in that group. It counts the comments in this snapshot, not your viewers. Commenters are a small and self-selected slice of an audience, so read the groups as requests some people made, not as demand you can measure.
How current is the result?
Each result carries the date its comments were read. Comment sections keep moving, so run it again when you want a fresh read.
Why did it say there was nothing to mine?
The three usual reasons are comments turned off, a private or deleted video, and a video too new to have comments yet. The result page tells you which one it hit.
How is this different from PrePublish itself?
This tool tells you what viewers asked for. PrePublish checks the script you write in response: it flags the passages most likely to lose attention before you record. Different questions, same pre-production moment.
