YouTube is a global hub for content creators and businesses, and with millions of videos being uploaded daily, it's no surprise that the platform receives an immense number of comments. For businesses and marketers, these comments can be a goldmine of insights and feedback. In this blog post, we'll introduce you to an efficient solution that allows you to download YouTube comments hassle-free.

Why export YouTube comments?

YouTube comments are a treasure trove of insights and feedback from your audience. Exporting them allows for a more profound analysis, enabling you to uncover valuable information about your viewers' opinions, preferences, and sentiments regarding your videos or products.

Unfortunately, this platform currently does not have a native YouTube comment exporter.

Currently, you can go to the post and copy-paste each comment into Excel, or use an easy-to-use tool like BrandBastion to export.
