About ClearComments: YT Comment Search & Filter

The average YouTube comment section is overwhelmed by bots, spam, and low-effort repetition.ClearComments is a precision-engineered YouTube comment filter and spam blocker extension that transforms this experience. By utilizing an automated scoring engine, it intelligently reorders discussion threads to prioritize depth, insight, and genuine engagement — with zero configuration required. Every comment is assigned a quality score the moment you open a video. High-value insights rise to the top. Noise is filtered to the bottom. ──────────────────────────── CORE FEATURE SET ──────────────────────────── HIDDEN GEM DISCOVERY The proprietary Hidden Gem engine identifies deeply insightful comments that the standard YouTube algorithm overlooks due to late posting or lack of early engagement. One click scrolls you directly to them. AUDIENCE INSIGHTS A live sentiment dashboard provides an immediate breakdown of viewer mood — positive, neutral, or critical — before you even begin reading. DYNAMIC REORDERING Advanced sorting moves the most substantive discussions to the top in real time. Scoring logic evaluates vocabulary diversity, technical depth, and genuine effort — ensuring educational and analytical responses are always prioritized. TRANSPARENCY BADGES Every comment displays a visible quality score. Understand exactly why a discussion was promoted or deprioritized — full transparency, zero guesswork.

High-traffic timestamps are marked directly on the YouTube progress bar — see what viewers said about exact scenes. NOISE & SPAM FILTERING Actively acts as a YouTube spam blocker to automatically identify and bury attendance spam, bot-generated content, repetitive greetings, and duplicate replies. Duplicate detection catches identical copy-paste comments across the entire video. CUSTOM BLACKLISTING Define your own personal list of blocked phrases, keywords, or topics. ClearComments filters YouTube comments by enforcing your rules across every video, every time. COMMENT SEARCH Instantly search through every comment on any YouTube video in real time.

Never lose your place.
