It initially flagged this post as spam for some reason, I have now activated it!

This is weird, let me check. Comments should be online immediately (I think I do not need to accept them)…

We played around with this actually yesterday, too. Have a look at this code, it reads the number of comments. Reading the comments should be relatively straightforward from there.

Best, Reto

library('RSelenium')

rD <- rsDriver(port = 4447L, browser = c("firefox"))

#chrome
#rD <- rsDriver(port = 4449L, browser = c("chrome"), chromever = "83.0.4103.39")

remDr <- rD[["client"]]

remDr$navigate("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WfoYl-EPtI")
print(remDr$getCurrentUrl())

webpage <- read_html(remDr$getPageSource()[[1]])
remDr$screenshot(display = TRUE)

html_text(html_nodes(webpage, ".count-text.style-scope.ytd-comments-header-renderer"))
