Anyone know how many Youtube comments are created per second on average?
Conversation
Wait -- does Youtube not have the exact timestamp for comments anywhere in the HTML return?? Just things like "3 months ago?"

I was checking the HTML for this link to test: youtu.be/8xiGTLynSo8?t= -- I couldn't find the exact timestamps anywhere in the HTML. I thought they were available in the HTML at some point. Maybe they're only available via the Youtube API itself.

they probably use a "timeago" thingy to change from the actual timestamp. Whether or not it's done client side is what I don't know.

Hmm I didn't think about that. Doesn't Chrome console show HTML before it's changed by JS or no?

The private API doesn’t. The official one used to have, but they mentioned this feature is deprecated I think.
