This is quite the technical question and I doubt I’ll get an answer on this small community but I’ll try it anyways.
So I’m a very heavy YouTube user and comment multiple times pretty much every day for years. Over years I wondered why I haven’t received notifications when someone replied to my comments and only got notified when someone directly referred to my handle or sometimes when someone liked or a creator hearted my comment (which made my experience on YouTube very lonely since I never got anything back).
Now I figured out I disabled the specific notification setting responsible for comment activity called “Notify me about activity on my comments and posts on other channels” (I must’ve turned this off in the past prolly cause I got too many notifications) and after turning it on I randomly got notified about past comments from me that literally have thousands of likes and hundreds of valuable replies and interactions that I missed out on.
Now I’m wondering if there is any way I can get an overview over all the replies I ever received on my comments because I can’t go through every individual comment I ever posted since they’re way too many.
If there is no direct way maybe there is some script or some trick that can pull all the replies I ever got and maybe see my most liked comments to see all the interactions and comments I missed out on.
I bet there are many people who want to see all the comments they got on their own comments so an answer would be much appreciated.
I agree it's very frustrating, YT strongly degraded in the last years. They haven't really modernized or fixed their UX at all and they didn't improve or implement any features. They only made it worse, especially the social elements are awful. It's probably cause they're a clear monopoly and don't really need to improve the platform since everybody is already on there anyways (same with Google search and many other Google products)
