Creator guide

A cryptographically random pick is a fair pick

Using the browser's crypto random generator over the real, currently-loaded comment list means every loaded comment has an equal, verifiable chance of winning.

What this tool does

Pulls up to 300 real, current top-level comments via the official YouTube Data API, then picks one at random using your browser's cryptographic RNG.

How to use the result

Screenshot or note the winner directly from the result — it's pulled from the real comment list you loaded.

Data to note

Comments are pulled live via the official YouTube Data API — a video with comments disabled will return an honest error, not a fabricated list.

A simple way to use this tool

Load comments close to your giveaway deadline so the pool reflects final entries.
State your giveaway rules (e.g. "must comment by X date") before picking.
Re-picking will give a different winner — only pick once for a fair giveaway.

FAQ
