Triggers when the user asks to: get all comments on a YouTube video, export YouTube comment data, scrape what viewers say about a YouTube video, fetch comment text and likes from a YouTube URL, collect comment threads from a YouTube video, or download audience feedback from a YouTube video. Returns commenter username, comment text, like count, reply count, and timestamp per comment. Ideal for sentiment researchers, product teams, and content analysts.
