Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the first comment on a YouTube video?
Paste the YouTube video URL into the tool and click search. The tool navigates through all comment pages using the YouTube API, sorted by oldest first, and returns the very first comment posted on that video along with the commenter's name and the date.
Why is it hard to find the first comment on YouTube normally?
YouTube's default comment sorting shows "Top comments" (most liked) rather than oldest first. Even switching to "Newest first" shows recent comments, not the original oldest ones. Scrolling to the very first comment on a popular video with thousands of comments is practically impossible without a dedicated tool.
Can I find the first comment on any YouTube video?
The tool works on any public YouTube video with comments enabled. Videos with disabled comments or very restricted comment sections may return no results.
Is this useful for anything beyond curiosity?
Yes — content creators use this to verify "first comment" contest entries, historians use it to document early audience reactions to significant videos, and researchers studying YouTube culture use it to track how commentary evolved over a video's lifetime.
