This is an absolutely awesome extension. I would give it a rating of 17 out of 5. There are multiple videos on YouTube purporting to tell you how to delete all your comments at once, I watched them all, and the comments all say the same thing: You lied! You didn't show us how to do it!
The reason is obvious: it isn't part of the YouTube functionality to let you do it all at once. You have to delete them one by one and for people with years of comments who suddenly decide they don't want some of their juvenile ranting on the internet any longer, that can be literally thousands, even tens of thousands of individual deletions.
I did find a hack at one point - if you delete a lot of them in a sequence, one by one, eventually they're all gone, even the ones you didn't delete, but that didn't always work plus how many is "a lot"? I never knew. It still took me a long time to get enough deleted that the magical thing would just happen. Sort of. Sometimes.
Then I found this thing. OMG, total solution, total game changer, totally works. I hope it's always available. You click a large button "navigate to comments" and it takes you there. Then you turn it loose. It can only delete one at a time, but it's automatic, so you can start it up and however long it takes, an hour, a day, a week, it will chew through all of them eventually. Years of them.
One interesting thing: you can launch multiple instances of it, so at one point I had literally ten of them going at one time thinking it would speed things up. But somehow it doesn't. they're all deleting the same ones multiple times, I don't know why or how, but they're all more or less atl the same point just chomping away. On the other hand, when I used to delete a lot by myself, I'd often have to do it two or three times. I'd finish all of them, refresh, and like 30% of them were still there, so I would do it all over again. With my multiple instance approach that didn't happen. Done was done.
I think this is a marvelous tool to have. I happen to prefer to delete all my comments at the end of every few days a few months at most, and now instead of a large task, I turn this thing on and just let it run. I don't have to stay on that screen, it just chews through them one by one with a quiet determination that is absolutely fantastic. It went through years of an older account I'd forgotten about, it took a few hours, but I didn't care. Because I didn't have to do anything so a few hours or instantly are really the same thing. This really is exactly what I hoped it would be. 100%.
Ok, I just read some of the other reviews. How odd that people say it works slowly. So what? Seriously, what is the rush? You turn this thing on and it is going to pulverize every single comment you ever wrote even if it's 50,000 comments. Unless there is some immediate risk or danger to having them up, why does it matter if it takes twenty seconds or three days? It has to go to each one, it can't just force the YouTube interface to work at a speed it isn't designed to work at. I'm just glad YT allows this.
As far as "you have to leave the tab open, you can't play a game" etc., not my experience at all. I can have ten tabs running this thing at the same time, at least nine of them not on the screen, just running in a tab I'm not viewing at that moment, and it didn't change or slow down when I did other things. At one point I got carried away and ran a LOT of instances of it. And while that went on I was using my computer completely normally in other ways doing other things. Didn't change anything at all.
It's like a Roomba cleaning a massive convention space - if there's a rush, it's no good. But imagine a Roomba with an unlimited - somehow - capacity for holding what it vacuumed. A Roomba like that could vacuum a space the size of an entire mall or airport given enough time. That's what this thing is like. It's slow, yes, but eventually every single comment is gone, effortlessly.
