How to View Your Old YouTube Comments

 YouTube comments are a unique part of the video-sharing platform where users can express their opinions, facts and questions to other viewers and create community discussion. Depending on how they are managed, comments can have a positive or negative impact on a video’s reputation and engagement. YouTube has a variety of features to manage comment content, including the ability to edit, delete and flag comments.

YouTube recently updated its comment system by requiring users to either use their Google account or YouTube username to post comments, and the option to block other user’s accounts and comments. The new system also removed the option to reply to or rate a comment. The old comments are still visible, but they have been locked in stasis, and it’s unclear whether or when YouTube will add replies or rankings to them.

In the meantime, there are a few ways to view your old YouTube comments. One method is to log in with your Google account, then go to the “Your data in YouTube” page and scroll down a little bit to see Your comment history. This will show you all of your YouTube comments, along with the video and date on which you commented.

Another way to view your old youtube comments is to go to the comment section of any video and hover over the top right corner of a comment to see the option to Edit or Delete. If you misspelled something or wrote a comment in haste, this is a good time to correct your mistake. Also, if circumstances have changed since you wrote the comment, it’s a good idea to edit your comment so that your message is more accurate.

If you find that you’re getting a lot of spam or hateful comments, it may be time to consider disabling your videos’ comments. However, before you do this, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of turning off your comments. Disabling comments can prevent trolls from spreading harmful messaging, but it can also make your brand seem less trustworthy.

In addition, it’s important to understand how YouTube uses your comments when you create a video. Your name, email address and other information in your comment can be used in search results for your account on YouTube and other websites. This is because the comment is considered user generated content and is therefore public. While you can ask YouTube to remove your comment from search results, it is unlikely that they will do so unless the information in the comment is highly sensitive or personal. You can also remove your name from a YouTube search by going to the video’s page and selecting the “Report” button. YouTube will then investigate the report and may take steps to remove the search result. However, this process can be time-consuming and may not remove all results. Therefore, it’s best to avoid leaving sensitive or private information in YouTube comments. You can also set your privacy settings to limit who can see your comments.
