Some Useful YouTube Search Queries

This video highlights some useful search queries you can use on YouTube. These include finding your videos on other people’s playlists, finding out who has favorited your videos, video responses you’ve made or responses people have made to you, and also finding out if anyone has featured your videos.

Playlists

In order to search to see if your videos are in anyone’s playlists, enter the following in your Google search:

“your username” site:youtube.com/playlist

This will list any playlists which contain videos by you, or any user you put in the “your username” part of the search.

Video Responses

You can also search for video responses. If you’re curious about finding video responses you’ve done, or video responses people have sent to you, you can enter the following into a Google search:

“your username” site:youtube.com/video_response_view_all

This will give a list of every video response which is associated with your username.

Featured Videos

If you’re curious to see if any of your videos are featured on another person’s channel, you can enter the following into a Google search:

“your username” site:youtube.com/user/*/featured

This will give a list of any channels which are featuring your videos. Unless someone else is featuring your videos, in most cases only your own channel will be listed in the search results. The asterisk (*) is a wildcard which will allow you to search any user. If you’re looking for a specific user, just replace “*” with “username.”

Favorited Videos

Finally, if you’re curious to see if anyone has favorited any of your videos, you can type the following into a Google search:

“your username” intitle:”Favorite videos” site:youtube.com/playlist

This works by using the “intitle” command to look for any pages on YouTube that have “Favorite videos” in the title. Specifically, in the “youtube.com/playlist” path. This will give you a list of any people who have favorited your videos, and which videos they’ve favorited.

How To Search YouTube Comments Using Google

In this video, I explain how to search through all YouTube comments using Google’s search engine. YouTube’s “Comment Search” utility does not function well, if at all. When attempting to use YouTube’s comment search, I found no results when searching for my username.

The method for searching and finding comments on YouTube is actually quite easy. It just took a bit of luck stumbling upon how it was actually done. The basic format for a Google search is as follows:

“Your search term here” site:www.youtube.com/all_comments

In the quotation marks, you include what you’re searching for in the comments section. The trick is what follows the “site:” command. You include “www.youtube.com/all_comments,” and this is what tells Google to search in the comments section of YouTube.

If you’ll notice, when you watch a YouTube video and you look in the comments section, you’ll see a link saying, “See all.” If you click that link, you will be brought to a page which contains all of the comments for the video you are watching. Upon seeing that address was similar for each and every video, I decided to try including that web address in my Google search and it worked!

The only problem is that it takes Google a long time to index the results for every single comment on YouTube. In Google’s search tools, you have the option to search for results within the last 24 hours, last week, last month, etc. If you search for comments in the last 24 hours, you’ll probably have a tough time because they probably won’t be indexed yet. Same with comments posted within the past week. It isn’t until you get into the last month and later that you get consistent results.

So, I hope that’s helped some people out with searching for comments. I know a lot of people have been complaining that YouTube’s “Comment Search” doesn’t work, and I’ve come to the same conclusion. Just use Google instead.

Your Question(s) Answered [Episode #3]

TheNobodyPMK And The Meaning & Future Of Humanity

In this episode of “Your Question(s) Answered,” I got 2 questions from TheNobodyPMK. His first question was…

What is the purpose of human existence?

In my response, I claim that because life wasn’t created or designed for a specific purpose, life in and of itself doesn’t have a “purpose.” It’s up to us to find our own purpose, to make our own purpose. Purpose is really just a byproduct of our psychology and is not an inherent property of existence, or life in general.

His second question was…

If we as a species were forced to leave this planet and go colonize on another planet would that be immoral? Unnatural? Are we even intelligent enough to not make the same mistakes we made on this planet?

This question occupied the bulk of my response to him. I claim that humans aren’t intelligent enough to avoid the same mistakes we’ve made in the past. Not only that, but that due to the very nature of existence, struggle and strife are the very basis upon which survival rests.

In terms of the moral question, not only do I think that it wouldn’t be an immoral decision to occupy another planet, but I believe the opposite to be true. It would be immoral not to seek out new planets to colonize. The bottom line is that our planet Earth is going to run out of resources, and if we do nothing to solve that problem, we are at fault for not fixing it. Not fixing it will only lead to mass suffering.

That’s all.
