02FAQ

YouTube comment picker FAQ

Is the draw fair?

Yes. Winners come from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, not from a server. Every eligible entry has the same chance. The entries CSV is your record of who was in the draw.

Is it free?

Yes. Loading a post and drawing winners is free, and you can draw again as often as you like once the comments are loaded. Without an account, loading comments is limited to a few posts per week per visitor.

Does it work without logging in to YouTube?

Yes. The picker reads public videos the same way a logged-out browser does. Nobody gets notified and nothing is posted.

How many comments does it collect?

Up to 300 comments and replies per run. For videos with thousands of entries, the Adlicio extension pulls up to 1,000 comments with replies, and the app pulls more.

Can I require a mention or a hashtag?

Yes. Turn on Must tag a friend to keep only comments with an @mention, and type a word or hashtag in Must include to keep only comments that contain it.

Can one channel enter more than once?

Not by default. One entry per person keeps the first comment from each channel. Turn it off if your rules allow multiple entries.

Does it work on YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Paste the Shorts link and the picker reads its comments like any video.
