Something that I have been interested in with the archival of youtube video comments is the avatars and having the replies arranged correctly. It's nice to have the avatars and the exchanges can pressure more context of the conversation in a human readable way than a JSON file. Though is this case it can clearly be see that YT's own comment system updates owner the years did a toll on this old PMVs comments. That is the problem with this system. I had to use Firefox's inbuilt screencaper and just click manually as they have removed the options to load all comments awhile ago. I had trouble with a larger vid too though it still maybe doable with taking section at a time. The fact that I have click 'read more' on all the longer (and often more valuable) comments means that this system probably won't be the most doable on a large scale.

Speaking of PMVs. Not sure if I mentioned it before but I was considering to host select PMVs with out the song. Just a notation of it and the user could get the song himself and assemble it. Though I could see some difficulties if the songs were specifically timed or it included vocal clips from the show edited in.
