  1. ytComments -- grab #youtube Comments & expand replies
  2.  
  3. by @LooseStool https://Gab.com/LooseStool -- 08Dec2019 ... #Bookmarklet available on #PasteBin https://pastebin.com/iWJcKmGt

  5. Linked from https://gab.com/LooseStool/posts/103275509846816166 , quoting https://gab.com/LooseStool/posts/103114945716431086 ( which was a reply to https://gab.com/LooseStool/posts/103114786392290752 )
  6.  
  7. A hopefully-helpful BOOKMARKLET; right now it only** works in Firefox and Brave/Chrome (preferred, better output)...
  8.  
  9. Each click triggers loading of the next full page comments and also auto-clicks to expand all replies and "Read More" (the lengthier comments)
  10.  
  11. Results appear in F12 console of web browser -- you can copy to the clipboard the FULL CONVERSATION while videos are still up ( to me that's a huge part of the value of youtube ... or at least it WAS :-( )
  12.  
  13. For usage yt$${options} see: yt$$.help
  14.  
  15. ** NOTE: MS Internet Explorer not working right now -- does not have scrollIntoView(false), PLUS uses DIFFERENT html elements ids and classes
  16. ...and MS EDGE has a limit of 2029 characters for Favorites/Bookmarklets :-(
  17. ...and did not try any other browsers, including mobile. No promises or guarantees use at your own risk etc.
  18.  
  19. var setHelp = function() {
  20.     var msg = "\n>>> After 1st click of Bookmarklet, you can also relaunch from within web browser F12 console: yt$$( {options} );\n\n"
  21.         + "{ skipConsoleClear: true } means SKIP the console.clear() before each run\n"
  22.         + "{ skipVideoInfo: true } means SKIP calling getYoutubeVideoInfo() to insert those results into the start of getYoutubeComments()\n"
  23.         + "{ shouldPromptIfFirstTime: true } means getYoutubeVideoInfo will also prompt( 'for easier copypasta (ONLY ONE TIME PER VIDEO_ID)', results )\n"
  24.         + "\nTo call with all Bookmarklet DEFAULT values: yt$$(true)" + " yt$$( { skipConsoleClear: " + DEFAULT_OPTIONS.skipConsoleClear
  25.         + ", skipVideoInfo: " + DEFAULT_OPTIONS.skipVideoInfo + ", shouldPromptIfFirstTime: " + DEFAULT_OPTIONS.shouldPromptIfFirstTime + " } )\n"
  26.         + "To clear all 'yt$$.rundata' *and therefore bring back the prompt()*: yt$$.reset()\n"
  27.         + "To see this help usage message again: yt$$.help\n";
  28.     console.log( T.help = msg );
  29. };
  30.  
  31. UPDATED 09DEC2019: now includes video's FULL DESCRIPTION -- including any hyperlinks fully auto-expanded , no more "..." annoyance!
  32.  
  33. ...
