YouTube Comment Comparison Tool
This tool compares comment sections from three YouTube videos about the same broad topic. In this case, the selected videos focus on Palestine-related content. The purpose is not to take a political side, but to compare how different audiences discuss the same issue across different channels. The tool looks at sentiment, language complexity, hostility, political and cultural issue mentions, repeated two-word phrases, and overall word frequency.
