YouTube comment picker
Your comments. Your entry rules. One fair winner. Paste your comments or a CSV export. Perkadoo doesn't log in to your account.
Copy your YouTube comments in three steps
- On desktop, open your YouTube video's comments and choose newest first if you want to review entries in order.
- Load the comments and expand replies you want included, then copy their authors and text.
- Paste below or upload an author/comment CSV. On mobile, try desktop web or transfer an existing export. A video URL alone won't import comments.
Questions people ask
- Does this connect to YouTube?
- No. Paste your comments or a CSV export. Perkadoo doesn't log in to your account, fetch a post URL or use YouTube's API. This is an independent tool, not an official integration.
- Can I require tags or a hashtag?
- Yes. Require up to five distinct friends, exclude your host account and other accounts, and filter for a word or hashtag without matching case. Self-tags and host tags don't count.
- Will every comment be imported?
- Only comments you paste or upload are included, up to 10,000. Expand hidden replies and load more comments first. Copied layouts vary: review the preview and use an author/comment CSV if the paste isn't recognized.
- Can people check the winner?
- Yes. After you approve the eligible list, the existing Winner Picker locks it in and draws with future public drand randomness. The public results page includes the proof and winners.
- Is it free, and what is shared?
- No sign-up is needed. Parsing and filtering happen in your browser. When you draw, eligible names are sent to Perkadoo and included on a public results page. Free results retain names for 30 days.
