Questions
How do YouTube comment highlights work?
We load up to 300 of the most relevant comments as ranked by YouTube, then show the ones with the most likes and the ones that ask a question, sorted by likes. The comments are shown exactly as written, with YouTube’s own like and reply counts.
How do you decide which comments are questions?
A comment counts as a question when it contains a question mark followed by a space, punctuation or the end of the text. Links with “?” in them do not count.
Can I see highlights for someone else’s video?
Yes, any public video with comments turned on.
Can I see every comment, not just the highlights?
Yes. Use the comment search to load and filter all comments of the video, or the export tool to download them.
