https://github.com/philbot9/youtube-comment-scraper/
Downloads the comments on YouTube videos.
Used to be available at ytcomments.klostermann.ca but that IP got banned because of overuse.
- WARNING – Do not overuse this program, or maybe you will get IP-banned. The authors’ GUI website did.

See my youtube-comment-scraper.sh script for how I use it.

https://youtube-dl.org/
A commandline downloader for YouTube videos and playlists (and not comments). Also works for a surprising number of other websites.
It has no competition, so I guess I can say that it’ll have to do, but it really is good.

youtube-comment-scraper for comments.

was github.com/gantt/downloadyoutube
A cross-browser script that adds a button to download YouTube videos as MP4 and FLV files. This script downloads the videos directly from YouTube and it integrates with YouTube’s interface.
It creates a button under the video, to the left of “Add to”.
Indispensable!
Abandoned, check out yt-dlp
Try harder – This is probably worth tinkering with a little more.

5.6.32 tested 2015-11-15, on Pale Moon 25.7.3 (x64), on Windows 10, updated automatically.
I don’t know how to use this. There is no toolbar icon available. Presumably this is a Pale Moon issue.

I was sick and tired of screwing around with Firefox and multiple tabs, extensions and scripts for the Greasemonkey extension. I decided to research a proper way to bulk-download YouTube videos in a very simple way.
